Gen. Baclig’s 117th bday remembered


Cabugao, Ilocos Sur – Last September 16, a short program commemorating the 117th birthday of the late General Eustaquio Baclig was held at 7 am at Barangay Baclig hall, which was named in his honor.
As a tradition, flower offering was laid on his monument located just beside the Municipal Hall. The highlight of the celebration was a mass officiated by Fr. Mario Baclig, the grandson of the general.
Fr. Baclig narrated a short story about the greatness and bravery of the late general. He then encouraged the audience to emulate the good examples imparted by his grandfather. The priest also added to continue the legacy and keep the spirit of nationalism, service and loyalty alive.
The event was attended by several municipal official and residents of the said Barangay. Its success was due to the concerted effort of the Barangay officials headed by Punong Barangay Ely Savella
