The newlyweds: Mr. & Mrs. Jan Albert Honculada (nee Theresa Go)

“And so we know and rely 

on the love God has for us. 

God is love. 

Whoever lives in love 

lives in God, and God in him.”

1 John 4:16 

Jan Albert and Therese got married seven (7) years ago – on April 16, 2016 to be exact. On Sunday, next week, they will be celebrating their 7th year of marriage.

The Bohol Tribune covered their wedding celebration – 7 years ago, and today, we reprint what we exactly wrote on their wedding day!

The groom, Jan Albert said: “Theresa and I met during our college days when we were both commissioners of the Central Student Government-Commission on Audit (CSG-COA). Our friendship was easy to build since we both love music and talked aboutROCKas a favorite genre. After graduation I went home to Cagayan de Oro (CDO) while she proceeded to Manila for the CPA (Certified Public Accountants) review classes and eventually to Cebu City for her job search after passing the board exams. I thought we ‘lost’ each other until one day in May of 2011, as I went over my twitter account, I chanced upon her. Our communication lines were rekindled and became stronger than ever. When I went to Cebu to claim my prize from her, I was simply overjoyed. It was a prize I got after winning my bet on the NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat.  Her team lost and mine won. Yes, we both love the NBA. Yes, we both love music and sports. Yes, we both started to be interested in each other and on May 1, 2012 she allowed me to be part of her life.”

On Saturday, April 16, 2016, at 3:00 in the afternoon, their wedding bells merrily rang at the  St. Ignatius de Loyola Parish here in Tagbilaran City with Cebu – based Rev. Fr. Mike Fortich, the uncle of the bride, as officiating priest and with the Loboc Children’s Choir, under the baton of Alma Taldo, providing the church hymns.

The groom, Jan Albert Honculada – a Certified Public Accountant from Cagayan de Oro City

Now, may we present to you the groom – Jan Albert Honculada. He is the 2nd to the eldest of 4 siblings. He is from CDO where he spent his elementary and secondary days. He decided to enroll in Holy Name University (HNU) for his B.S. in Accountancy course and graduated Cum Laude. Immediately after graduation he took review classes for the CPA Board Examination, took the exams;  and passed! He got his first job from a CDO real estate company but resigned a few weeks ago to permanently reside in Cebu with his bride after their wedding. 

Theresa, the beautiful and radiant bride. Like the groom, she is a Certified Public Accountant.

May we now present the bride – Theresa Go, the eldest daughter of the two children of Sonny and Josie Go. Theresa is used to the intricacies of being “OIC” at home since this responsibility was assigned to her while her parents were at work. She is a sports enthusiast – thanks to her dad – and playing tennis, badminton and softball was an easy filler during her free time. Like her groom, Theresa also graduated Cum Laude from the HNU College of Accountancy and successfully made it to the CPA Board Exams.  Indeed, she pursued her dream to work as auditor in the top audit firms in the country like the Navaro, Amper and Co. affiliated internationally with Deloitte. Her mom’s bout against the big C told her to stop from her audit job in order to dedicate her time to her mother. Today, she is a happy member of the Finance Team of the Bombardier Transportation Company based in Cebu City.
