CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan--The provincial government of Bulacan, along with hundreds of Bulakenyos will relive the spirit of true independence during the 120th anniversary of the Philippine Independence to be held on Tuesday at the historic Barasoain Church here.
This year’s celebration is anchored on the theme “Kalayaan 2018: Pagbabagong Ipinaglaban, Alay sa Masaganang Kinabukasan”.
Senator Richard Gordon, the guest of honor, together with Governor Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado and Vice Governor Daniel Fernando will lead the annual event.
The program will start with a flag-raising ceremony to be followed by the pledge of patriotism and oath to the national flag and wreath-laying ceremony at the statue of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippines.
Alvarado said that Bulakenyos should not forget the sacrifices of our heroes that paved the way for independence.
“Let us not let the sacrifices and invaluable efforts of our ancestors go to waste. Let us always remember the vital contribution of our heroes for our independence. While we are doing that, let us continue to hold hands in taking a path towards progress,” the governor said.
