“Tanging Lungsod naming mahal Tampok ng Silanganan Patungo sa kaunlaran at kaligayahan Nasa kanya ang pangarap, Dunong, lakas, pag-unlad Ang Maynila'y tanging Perlas ng Bayan ngayo't bukas.” Today, June 24, is the 449th celebration of Araw ng Maynila. On June 24, 1571, Manila was proclaimed the capital of Spain in the Philippines and a government was established in the city. In 1958, then Manila Mayor Arsenio Lacson declared June 24 as the city’s foundation day. In 1963, Manila Mayor Antonio Villegas changed the name of the celebration from “Foundation Day” to “Araw ng Maynila.” - Inquirer #ManilaDay #ProudManileño #MahalKongMaynila #BatangTondo #449thManilaDay #MayorIsko (at New Antipolo Street Tondo Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByPMtEjRBLcLUXrSNL1oGJMsrzDblPZ7AyU-40/?igshid=196211nkrxbm7
