The Provincial Government recently observed the 110th Philippine Independence Day, June 12, apart from the one made by the city government, as a compliance to DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2008-81.
The DILG memo directs all provincial governors, city mayors, town and village chiefs to conduct a simple but fitting program for the occasion.
The provincial board and employees, led by their respective department heads and personnel of the different line agencies inside the Capitol line up on the said day clad with their Barong Tagalogs and Filipiniana dresses.
A symbolic hoisting of 27 Philippine flags representing the 26 municipalities and capital city of the province was then made.
Seven o’clock in the morning, PNP provincial director, P/SSupt. Ramon Ochotorena and 53IB battalion commander Samuel Gayongorsa raised the big flag while the national anthem was sung.
After then the provincial officials and heads of line agencies followed suit, raising their assigned flags, followed by the symbolic laying of wreaths and flowers in honor of the fallen heroes who defended the country with blood, life and honor and won the war against oppression.
The 53rd IB troopers made their gun salute to the national flag accompanied by the drum and lyre group of the Zambosur National High School.
Governor Aurora Cerilles, who was in Manila that day, to seek audience with NFA administrator Jessup Navarro for additional allocation of NFA rice in the province.
Regala stood in behalf of the governor and delivered her message, which talked about “a season of great challenges, the celebration should kindle each and every Zambosurian to strive and never give up in doing well.”
Cerilles’ message urged for a renewal of covenants for the fatherland and promotes common interest and durable peace away from political strife and criminalities.
“The social unrest, the rice and oil crisis should awaken us and bring ourselves together in advancing our common aims for peace and development,” Regala read.
As seen at a distance, streamers and flags hang around the Capitol that day.
