113th National Flag Day May 28, 2011

Iligan City celebrated the 113th National Flag Day at the Rizal Park participated by the different offices of the Local Government Units headed by the Honorable Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz.

The event, spearheaded by the Department of Education with the very able leadership of Dr. Cherry Mae F. Limbaco was highly praised by everyone who were present because of the unique way that they have decorated the stage.  They have decided to set-up a replica of the Aguinaldo Shrine where the first unfurling of the National Flag was held last June 12, 1898.

Dr. Limbaco was also ably supported by all her DepEd family in the district who presented a very nice "CariƱosa" number. 

All the speakers highly praised the job very well done.
