CEBU, Philippines - The formal unveiling of the monuments of Don Vicente Rama and Don Sergio Osmeña Jr. will be done in June, in time for the celebration of the Philippines’ Independence Day.
This was clarified by Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama as it was earlier planned to have the unveiling on the celebration of Cebu City’s 75th Charter Day on February 24.
“Dili to. June to siya. Pag-approve gyud sa contract, pagpinirmahanay na, mao pa may pag down sa Insular Life Assurance Co. In other words, mao pay pagsugod og buhat. Dili mana ma-magic. Hopefully, mahuman gyud na siya by Independence Day.†Rama said.
