Twenty-one days before the 124th commemmoration of Philippine Independence Day, Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. wants to remind Angeleños of the greatest contributions of our unsung heroes.

With this, Lazatin on May 22, 2022 instructed members of the City Engineer’s Office, headed by Engr. Donato Dizon, to install and light up the Independence Day lanterns along Abacan Bridge.

“This will serve as a reminder of hope, valor, and the bravery of our heroes who fought for our freedom,” he said.

In this present time, Lazatin also recognizes our modern-day unsung heroes — the health workers, who continue to heed the call in the fight against COVID-19. (Angeles City Information Office)
