Historically, the first and only anniversary celebration with Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo of the proclamation of Philippine Independence was held in 1899 in a beautiful mansion in the center of Angeles City. Today the Pamintuan mansion still stands, an awesome monument to our struggle for a national identity, thanks to the Bangko Sentral which has preserved this heritage structure. Every year, whether or not the sitting president proclaims it a national holiday, the City of Angeles and the Kuliat Foundation mount a fitting celebration on June 12, where everyone comes in Filipiniana attire, and participates in the reenactment of that historical event, complete with actors in period costumes, marching brass bands, choirs, and other performers.
Theme: “BAGONG PAGSASAMA. BAGONG BAYANIHAN. BAGONG PAGBABAGO.”
