Bearing the theme “I am the Light of the Town”, the celebration kicked off with a poster-making contest for students followed by a creative-wear contest among barangays to show the culture, identity, and art of barangays comprising San Simon.
Sixteen barangays have also been reported to have zero active cases. These are Barangays Baliti, Del Pilar, Del Rosario, Dela Paz Norte, Lourdes, Magliman, Maimpis, Pandaras, Panipuan, Pulung Bulu, Quebiawan, San Felipe, San Isidro, San Juan, Sta. Teresita, and Sto. Rosario.
Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo believes Pampanga province is on its way to become a megalopolis and next economic corridor on the back of government’s infrastructure projects and private sector investments.
Pampanga Second District Board Member Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab distributed goods, vitamins and financial assistance to vulnerable sectors of the Sta. Rita community who have yet to receive assistance from government amid the on going pandemic.
