Rizal Day

By: NERVA AMADA

Last December 30, 1981 the town of Rosario headed by our able and kindhearted Mayor Felicisimo H. Luna with the cooperation of our dear Alma Mater, P.V.G.M.A and other schools within the town, held a simple but colorful and worth remembering program and parade to commemorate the death anniversary of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

The program consisted of the speeches of the town officials, poems, songs and folk dances which were participated in by the teachers and students from different schools especially the P.V.G.M.A. The highlight of the program was the presentation of the drama entitled "The Last Farewell" of Dr. Jose Rizal.

There was a parade participated in by town officials, teachers, students and members of barangay brigade and muses who rose in colorful floats. Representing the Academy was Kronwyn Katigbac with her escort, Rolando Casao. Officers and cadets from our school also joined the parade.

This year's affair was a successful one and everyone is forward for another presentation next year.
