Instead, post went viral and 1.2 million people have said they would attend party. Crescencio Ibarra said he would not turn away anyone who came to party for his daughter Rubi. He said everyone was invited. Mr Ibarra said in TV interview that he had no idea why his post became so popular and why more than million people accepted his invitation.
