Along with the commemoration of his death anniversary, the city government of Naga under Mayor John Bongat thru the City Events, Protocol and Public Information Office headed by Allen Reondanga, has prepared a series of activities for the day.
At 7am, the Tsinelas Walk will commence at the City Hall along Magsaysay Avenue towards Eternal Garden where Robredo’s tomb is located. A Eucharistic celebration will immediately follow, along with the People’s flower offering at the grave site.
A JMR Poster-making and Essay Writing Contests are slated at the Plaza Quince Martirez at 1 and 3pm respectively. Awarding of prizes to the winners will be at 4:30pm.
The Naga City Grassroots Basketball Championship will be at 3pm and will be held at the Jesse M. Robredo Coliseum. The day-long event will be capped by the Bicol Urban Poor Forum and NC Urban Poor Federation Anniversary Fellowship Night at Naga City People’s Hall at 5pm.
