The mayor said the week-long celebration kicked off during the flag raising ceremony on Monday, March 24, where she recalled key moments in the city’s development, including its separation from Parañaque in 1907 under Philippine Commission Act No. 1625, and its formal declaration as a highly urbanized city in 1997 through Republic Act No. 8251.
Aguilar said it also highlighted the importance of remembering the city’s roots and legislative milestones that shaped Las Piñas into the growing and self-sustaining community that it is today.
