Polytechnic University of the Philippines, together with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, City Hall of Manila and National Council on Disability Affairs, organized a simple yet meaningful celebration for the 152nd birthday of one of the Filipino heroes, Apolinario Mabini.
PUP President Emanuel C. De Guzman, together with other guests, led the flag-raising ceremony.
Meanwhile, Vice President for Administration Professor Alberto C. Guillo delivered the welcome remarks. He reminded everyone of how Mabini used his ideas and intelligence to help the Philippines achieve democracy in 1898. Guillo added that may Mabini be an inspiration to the youth to help the country in many ways.
De Guzman also delivered an inspirational message to the audience. He said that Mabini and PUP are both guides – while Mabini guided former President Emilio Aguinaldo in different matters, PUP is guiding the youth of today in achieving a good future, for themselves, and most especially for the country.
The program ended with a song from the PUP Bagong Himig Serenata.
