Bulacan marks Del Pilar’s 167th birth anniversary

The legacy of the country’s great propagandist, Gat. Marcelo H. Del Pilar, was celebrated in the hearts and minds of thousands of Bulakenyos (Bulacan residents) who commemorate the hero’s 167th birth anniversary at his monument in Barangay San Nicolas, Bulakan town on Wednesday.

First District Rep. Jonathan Sy-Alvarado exhorted everyone to set aside personal interest and be a good example to the younger generation and emulate Plaridel’s (Del Pilar’s pen name) heroism for them to grow as responsible citizens who value the sacrifices and deeds of the Philippine’s greatest heroes.
