Isabela’s capital marks first charter day

Ilagan City, Philippines – This city is celebrating its first cityhood anniversary today, which will kick off with a mass at St. Ferdinand Parish Church and a motorcade.

Ilagan was turned into a city based on Republic Act 10169, which was approved following a plebiscite conducted exactly a year ago today.

Mayor Josemarie Diaz said the celebration would be highlighted by the city government’s subsidy of the students’ miscellaneous fees in public elementary and high schools.
