The Muntinlupa City Council has passed Resolution 16-133, urging business owners and organizations in the city to install “centennial arches” or logos in front of their buildings to promote the city’s centenary as an independent municipality.
“On Dec. 19, 2017, Muntinlupa will be marking its 100th Founding Anniversary as an independent municipality. Members of the private sector are enjoined to participate in this Centennial celebration,” the council said in the resolution.
Commercial establishment owners are also requested “to support or adopt all the projects, programs, and activities created by the Muntinlupa Centennial Commission” for the centenary, the resolution adds.
Muntinlupa Public Information Officer Tez Navarro said the resolution aims to raise awareness and a sense of cooperation of all sectors in the city.
The city government’s request “does not only end with the members of the private sector but also goes to the barangays, homeowners’ association, and grassroots communities,” Navarro added.
“Mayor Jaime Fresnedi invites everyone to join the year-long celebration of Muntinlupa Centennial and hopes that the celebration imparts nationalistic pride to all,” she said.
Activities lined up for the celebration include the Centennial Roadshow Caravan, Centennial Women’s Congress, Sale Extravaganza, Centennial Bancathon, Centennial Travel Expo, Lakbay Bulilit, Serenata sa Plaza, and LGBT Parangal, among others.
An unveiling of heritage houses in Muntinlupa and the restoration of historical sites are also part of the celebration. For more information about Muntinlupa Centennial, please visit fb.com/officialmuntinlupacity and muntinlupacity.gov.ph.
