Special holiday in La Union today

- Jun Elias -

SAN FERNANDO, La Union, Philippines – President Aquino has declared today, March 2, a special non-working holiday in the province as it marks its 161st founding anniversary. 

“It is but fitting and proper that the people of La Union be given full opportunity to celebrate this milestone in their province’s history with appropriate ceremonies,” stated Proclamation No. 112 dated Feb. 18.

La Union was created as a province on March 2, 1850 through a historic superior decreto signed by then Spanish governor-general Antonio Maria Blanco.  

The province was founded by Captain General Narciso Zaldua Claveria, considered as Spain’s most dynamic colonial executive in the 19th century.
