Despite the heavy rains that befallen on this part of the region starting on the early morning of June 12, 2012, PROARMM joyously celebrated the 114th Proclamation of Philippine Independence.

 

 

Although the strong rain caused the delay of the occasion, it never hindered officers and men of PRO ARMM led by the Regional Director PCSUPT MARIO A AVENIDO in warmly proceeding with the program which was held at the lobby of the Regional Headquarters Administration Building.

 

Two personnel of the PRO ARMM’s Regional Public Safety Battalion braved the bad weather and hoist the Philippine Flag as the participants, others soaked from the rain, proudly sang our National Anthem “Lupang Hinirang”.

 

It was followed by the recitation of the Panunumpa ng katapatan sa Watawat. RD AVENIDO then delivered the Chief, PNP’s message. “Isang magandang maulan na umaga po sa ating lahat!” was the RD’s opening greetings to the audience. “Atin pong alahanin na hindi napigilan ninuman at ng anupaman ang ating mga bayani sa kanilang mithiing ipaglaban ang ating kalayaan mula sa mga mapanakop na banyaga. Sa katulad na sitwasyon, ang lakas ng ulan o bagyo ay hindi hadlang upang ating ipagdiwang ang ika-114th Araw ng Ating Kalayaan. Ang ating mga ninuno ay humarap sa mga malalakas na armas at mas higit na puwersa ng mga kalaban, sa simpleng ulan lang tayo pa ba ay dadapa.” the RD added.

 

The program ended at about 9:00am.
