In a notable Supreme Court case (Shopping Center Management Corporation v. Galutera), the court ruled in favor of the winner's family.

The rule is simple:
▪️If the contest or promo rules are clear, they must be followed exactly as written.
▪️If the rules are confusing or unclear, the court will decide in favor of the participant, not the company that wrote them.

Otherwise, companies could use tricky, vague wording to exclude participants out of their prizes after already declaring them winners.

Many of us may have Barongs, suits, and other formalwear taking up space in our closets - clothes that are still in good condition, but which we have not worn for a long time and may no longer need.

At the same time, there are couples in our communities who may be going through difficult times and cannot afford to buy formal attire for what will be one of the most important days of their lives - their wedding day.

Perhaps it is time to give our good but no longer needed formal clothes a new life and a new purpose.

The IBP Misamis Oriental Chapter invites you to PASS THE BARONG by donating your pre-loved Barongs, suits, coats, dress shirts, neckties, slacks, belts, and formal shoes that are still clean, presentable, and in good condition.

Through the IBP Mis Or Pass the Barong Campaign, these donations will benefit couples joining free mass wedding ceremonies in Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental who cannot afford to purchase Barongs or suits for their wedding day.

What may simply be taking up space in our closets could mean so much to someone else. Let us put our pre-loved formalwear to valuable use and help our beneficiaries celebrate their special day with dignity and confidence.

DONATION PERIOD:
August 20 – September 30, 2026

DROP-OFF:
IBP Misamis Oriental Chapter Office
Corrales Extension, Cagayan de Oro City

For inquiries, please feel free to message us on Facebook or contact our IBP Office Staff.

Give your formalwear a second life. Pass the Barong.
