By PJTremedal, Mangagawang Media Ng Mindanao

Oroquieta City, MisOC – Led by the first ever elected representative in the Halls of Congress and the 1st District of this province, Mayor Jorge Taghap Almonte, this City of Good Life celebrates the 112th Independence Day with pride and honor to tell its people that freedom should be assert and not a grant by anybody.

The celebration started with an ecumenical service by the Oroquieta Council of Churches that asked God thru his son Jesus Christ its blessing for a joyous and historical celebration that achieving real freedom must came from him.

In his message, Mayor Almonte made emphasis on our independence from foreign hands that it should be appreciated by our young generation because of what had our heroes and forefathers had asserted to gain.

Kung atong ilakbit kini nga selebrasyon sa pagkakaron, ato nga naangkon ang maong kagawasan kung itandi usab nato kini sa milabay nga eleksyon. Ang full automated election ning imaging bulan sa Mayo timailhan nga nakalingkawas kita sa mga miaging hulga, kasamok, ug uban pang hinungdan nga mapugngan sa pagpili ang atong mga bumoboto sa ilang gusto, apan sa maong bag-ong pamaagi atong naangkon ang kagawasan bisan pa nga aduna gihapo’y gagmayng kakuli-an.

Busa ang mithi sa kagawasan kinahanglan gayud nga atong isilsil sa tagsatgasa ka alimpatakan kanatong mga Pilipino ilabi ngadto sa atong mga kabataan nga sa sunod nga panahon ang kagawasan dili gayud angayan nga isalikway ug kalimtan na lang nga adunay mga tao nga nagpakabana, nakigbatok aron lamang matagamtaman ang unsa gayud diay ang manimuyo nga adunay kaugalingnan.” The City Mayor said in the vernacular.

After such message, the celebrations witnessed a simple but meaningful showcase depicting Filipino history of what are the Filipinos of yesterday and today thru the performance of the students that belongs to the Special Program in the Arts of the Misamis Occidental National High School.

The celebrations was joined by other NGO’s and PO’s, the PNP, BJMP,BFP, and the Military Reservist, The Boys and Girls Scouts, K of C, Karancho, Inc, both local and national government employees as they bring their offering in the wreath-laying ceremonies at the Dr. Jose Rizal Monument.

In other activities of the celebrations, an NGO named “B-Front” added some fun fares and contests joined and participated by the community to add more joy and festive mood in the commemoration.
