The commemoration was marked by a grand event attended by local officials, community leaders, and residents, all coming together to celebrate progress, unity, and achievements.
At the 23rd Calamba Cityhood Anniversary at the Jose Rizal Coliseum, Mayor Rizal and officials celebrated by awarding incentives to Drug-Cleared Barangays, recognizing Regional Athletics Association Meet Medalists, breaking ground for a Multi-Purpose Building, and inaugurating the Rizal Building.
Mayor Roseller Rizal, along with Lone District Representative Charisse Ann Hernandez-Alcantara and Vice Mayor Angelito Lazaro Jr., spearheaded the festivities, underscoring the city’s remarkable journey and its commitment to continuous growth and development.
“In commemorating our 23rd year as a city, we honor not just our past achievements but also look forward to the future with optimism and determination,” remarked Mayor Rizal.
The celebration was a testament to the city’s progress and unity, with various activities and programs highlighting the achievements and contributions of Calamba’s residents and stakeholders.
The event began with the recognition of Drug-Cleared Barangays, a testament to the city’s commitment to combating illegal drugs and promoting a safe and drug-free community.
