Various activities have been slated to mark the event, among them a hot air balloon show at the Poro Point Baywalk here.
Gov. Raphaelle Veronica "Rafy" Ortega-David has invited people in the province and tourists to see the hot air balloon show being staged for the second straight year and in line with her aspiration to make this province a destination for aviation sports and activities in Northern Luzon.
“Last year, the show drew crowds who were wowed by this new and exciting thrill," said David who invited the people to also see the La Union Car Show, where a collection of vintage vehicles and supercars will be displayed; the La Union Static Display where top-of-the-line assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Bureau of Fire Protection are featured; free wall climbing and paintball activities, and the LU Drift Show at Poro Point.
A beauty pageant, Mutia ti La Union, participated in by 20 candidates, caps the day in the evening here.
