The wedding of the Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, and Julius Naranjo, will be celebrated by the top personalities in sports, politics, commerce, and entertainment.

Former Vice President and Angat Buhay NGO chairman Leni Robredo is one of the wedding’s major sponsors.

According to Diaz’s manager, Noel Ferrer, the pair visited Robredo to individually request her to be their “ninang.”

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and business tycoons Manny Pangilinan of Smart/PLDT and Ramon Ang of San Miguel Corp are also among the wedding party.

Teresita Sy-Coson of SM Investment Corporations is another major supporter, as is Philippine Olympic Committee president Bambol Tolentino.

Ricky Vargas, PBA chairman, could also attend the wedding, as will famous doctor Vicki Belo, motivational speaker Bo Sanchez, and actress Judy Ann Santos.

However, the Matrons of Honor are actress Angel Locsin and Diaz’s dietician Jeaneth Aro. Iza Calzado is one of the bridesmaids, while writer Atom Araullo is one of the guys.

Diaz and Naranjo will marry on July 26, exactly one year after her historic Olympic triumph in Tokyo, which awarded the Philippines its first-ever gold medal in the quadrennial competition. The reception will be held at the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio.

Diaz has also commissioned famous Filipino artist Francis Libiran to make her wedding gown.
