Bohol to commemorate 116th CPG Day
« on: November 05, 2012, 03:30:28 PM »
Every year, on exactly the same day, November 4, Bohol gives tribute to its Most Illustrious Son, the late President, Carlos P. Garcia.

This year, Gov. Edgar M. Chatto will lead the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) and all Boholanos in reliving the life of this simple son of Talibon who became an unforgettable national figure by becoming the 8th President of the Philippines and the 4th President of the Third Republic.

Born in November 4, 1896, this simple and humble Bol-anon was a teacher, poet, orator, lawyer, public official, political economist and guerilla leader rolled into one.

Pres. Garcia was most known for his “Filipino First Policy” which heavily favored Filipino businessmen over foreign investors. He was also greatly responsible for the changes in retail trade in the Philippines which has greatly affected Chinese businessmen in the country which, even to this day still exists.

This year’s commemoration will begin with the Foyer Honor, Flag Raising Ceremony and the much-awaited 21 Gun Salute at the Pres. Garcia Park at the New Capitol Site.

Simultaneous wreath-laying ceremony will follow in three historical sites, namely: the Pres. CPG Monument at the Plaza Rizal with Provincial Administrator Alfonso Damalerio II as the lead figure; the CPG Heritage House to be led by the late President’s son-in-law, Atty. Fernando Campos; and of course, at the Pres. Garcia Park at the New Capitol Site, to be spearheaded by Gov. Chatto, Vice-Gov. Concepcion Lim and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Members.

To highlight the celebration will be commemorative Program at the Bohol Cultural Center.

The Chatto-Lim Administration has already laid out a complete list of activities for the day, which would then be followed by a guided tour of the CPG Heritage House which has been declared as a Historic and Tourism Site by the National Historical Institute.

“It is only fitting that a big celebration be done for a befitting and great son of Bohol,” Chatto admitted. (jlv/EDCom) -- http://www.theboholstandard.com/
