Otherwise, I found an old thread on the internet that mentions a couple of links for buying chords here. I would contact them and see if they know where you can buy the chords. They officiate Filipino weddings in California. There’s also a site called Filipino Wedding Ceremonies. Type in “Wedding Lasso Rope” and see if that works.

It symbolizes everlasting fidelity and signifies that they walk the world as equals. The Cord – Next, a white decorative silk cord called a yugal is placed over the couple’s shoulders in the sign of infinity (a sideways figure-eight). It signifies that they are dressed for the world as one. Then two chosen people will take one end of the bride’s veil and drape it over the groom’s shoulders. The Veil – After the couple has exchanged rings, they kneel side by side. Traditionally, it was like a dowry and thus it also symbolizes his promise to support her and their family. The groom gives the bride 13 coins to symbolize their mutual prosperity. The custom of the groom giving wedding coins comes from Spain. The Coins – The wedding coins are called arras. The third candle is called a "unity candle" and has its origins in the US. Sometimes the couple will then take those lit candles and light a third candle together, signifying that their families are united through them. One person from each side of the family lights a candle symbolizing God’s presence at the union. The Candles – The lighting of the candles usually takes place at the beginning of the ceremony. There are traditional Filipino Catholic wedding customs that involve candles, coins, a veil and cord.
