Caloocan Mayor Oscar Malapitan on Wednesday thanked and recognized the city government employees for participating in the local celebration of Linggo ng Kasuotan Pilipino.
The program held at Plaza Rizal was led by the Cultural Affairs and Tourism Office under the supervision of officer in charge Gigi David.
In a speech delivered by CATO action officer Marianne Kathleen Mendoza, she said in Filipino: “it is during this time that the ethnic costumes of our race in the different parts of the Philippines—in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao—are showcased and remembered.”
The program is in response to the 894 Proclamation signed by then-President Fidel V. Ramos, where he declared, the country’s policy to promote, encourage and develop a major socio-economic activity.
