FOR having declared June 24 (Tuesday) a special non-working day in Manila in celebration of the city’s ‘Araw ng Maynila‘ marking the capital city’s 454th founding anniversary, Mayor Honey Lacuna thanked President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
The lady mayor also expressed gratitude for all those who have helped Manila become what it is today, as a leader among all other cities in the country.
“Sa lahat ng mga nakatulong natin sa paglilingkod, pribado man o kasama natin sa trabaho, maraming-maraming salamat sa inyong lahat,” Lacuna said.
“Ang tulong at suporta ng bawat isa ay hindi natin dapat balewalain, dahil sa lob ng 454 taon ay hinubog ng mga ito ang Maynila bilang tunay na karapat- dapat bilang kapitolyo ng ating bansa,” she added.
Lacuna meanwhile stressed that Manilans must be proud of the city where they were born, raised, studied, had a family and served in whatever capacity possible.
Thus, she commended and thanked the residents, local government workers, the city government’s partners from the private sector and even individuals who have been helping Manila in many ways and all these years.
