PUP Celebrates 149th Birthday of Apolinario Mabini
The 149th birthday of Apolinario Mabini was
commemorated last July 23, 2013 at the Freedom Park of the Polytechnic
University of the Philippines-Mabini Campus.
I have to commend how beautiful and well-organized this
event is. This event was a collaboration of the PUP and the National Historical Commission.
The program started through a welcoming ceremony done by the
Armed Forces of the Philippines. And it was followed by the flag raising
ceremony also led by the VP.
Next to deliver their speech was VP Binay. Here’s a fun
fact. Do you know that VP Binay had been a faculty member of the PUP for 12
years? He also said that like Apolinario Mabini, he strived all throughout his life so that he can be able to
sustain his education and basic needs.
The personalities had a tour over the mini-museum. The place
is not that spacious but I could say that it is really filled with lots of
great archives, paintings, and interactive materials that even our generation
will appreciate.
I was lucky enough to shoot them up to the 2nd
floor since Media people were not allowed upstairs because of the little space
the floor has. But I was thankful because of the three photographers upstairs,
I was one of them. The Chairman of the NHC showed VP Binay the e-learning that
they just produced as a material for teaching to Grade 6-8.
“Kapag ginugunita ang buhay ni Gat. Apolinario Mabini, ibulong,
“Ipagmalaki natin na tayo ay Pilipino!"
