112th Years of Freedom Celebrated at SM City Clark


Vice-mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting led the 112th Independence Day celebrations at SM City Clark on Saturday urging officials of the mall and mall goers to keep the spirit of fighting for freedom alive in the consciousness of the younger-generation.

Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting who led the formal flag raising ceremonies here was accompanied by top management officials of SM City Clark led by Assistant Mall Manager Ana Datu. The event was marked by a calesa parade in the vicinity of the mall and the presentation of famous Filipino patriotic songs rendered by Jonathan Barrera of AUF Performing Arts.

In her speech Vice Mayor Cabigting said that the fight for freedom does not end with the yearly commemoration of the Independence Day. She said that fighting for freedom is still relevant in today's time as the Filipino society is still plagued by social oppression of various sorts.

Ms. Datu, for her part, urged tenants of the mall to contribute in their little way in promoting Filipino values in their workplace as well as in their homes.

After the program, Vice Mayor Vega and Ms. Ana T. Datu led the opening of the 6 feet by 12 feet Giant Pulburon Exhibit assisted by Mr. Rene Del Rosario at the The Event Center. The delicacy was made by the famous Sasmuan Delicacies, a local brand name famous for popularizing local native delicacies in Pampanga.
