First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos graces the commemoration of the 127th Araw ng Pinaglabanan, or the Battle of San Juan del Monte held at the Pinaglabanan Shrine in San Juan City on Wednesday, August 30. Standing beside the First Lady are San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora and Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco.
“This year, we are pushing forward with our goal of reaching out to more tourists and visitors in our historical and art trails. We know that we have something different to offer—we have museums, churches, and art destinations that tourists can DIY and finish in a day. They also don’t have to spend a lot since most destinations are for free. So we hope that with all that we’re doing, we can boost our local tourism,” the mayor said.
They then unveiled the markers of the statues of Gat Andres Bonifacio, Gen. Emilio Jacinto, and Dr. Jose Rizal. The monuments, made by Eduardo Castrillo, were transferred from their original locations to the Pinaglabanan Shrine so Filipinos and foreign visitors could pay their respects and give reverence to the heroes who fought for Philippine Independence.
The mayor led the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the San Juan Art Exhibit and the launch of the San Juan City Art Trail. The art exhibit, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, features Filipino artists from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as local artists from San Juan City with artworks showcasing a wide range of artistic styles, techniques, and themes from the regions the artists came from. The exhibit runs until September 5.
