There are lots of problems we face to address but I believe we will attain it soon if we join hands and collaborate our efforts. Bayanihan is the key to achieve lasting freedom, peace and prosperity.” The celebration was led by City Councilors El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the committee on peace and order, and Councilor Ana Marie Palermo, chairman of the 2015 Independence Day Celebration, themed, “Tagumpay sa Pagbabagong Nasimulan, Abot-kamay na ng Bayan”. Meanwhile, the provincial government of Negros Occidental celebrated the 2015 Philippine indpendence with a flag raising at the provincial capitol attended by provincial officials, various government agencies, academe, NGOs, youths and other organizations. Executive assistant Nestor Bayona read the message of Gov. Alfredo Maranon, Jr. who was in Iloilo with President Benigno Aquino for the celebration. Maranon’s message was: “Our battle for independence continues; the problem of poverty remains in our midst. There is no doubt, however, that if we stay united as a people, together, we would be able to move the country ahead to greater economic heights.” Police Supt. Samuel Nacion, Negros Occ. Provincial Police Director, reiterated the message of PNP Deputy Director General Espina: “The men and women of the PNP who continue to perform their duties with loyalty, dedication and pride are contemporary heroes of our time who share the same vision for a free and just society under an independent, strong and progressive country.”* By: Edith Colmo Negros Daily Bulletin
