The new coronavirus pandemic has given this year’s celebration of Independence Day a new meaning, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said, as he honored frontliners for their sacrifices amid the health crisis.
Zamora led the Independence Day commemoration at the Pinaglabanan Shrine on Friday, together with National Historical Commission of the Philippines Executive Director Restituto Aguilar.
The San Juan City government and the NHCP made this year’s commemoration “a simple affair” with the singing of the National Anthem at the San Juan City Hall. The historic City of San Juan is considered as the battleground for the first armed clash between Spanish forces and the Katipuneros fighting for the country’s independence.
