Araneta City honors Independence Day with ‘Para Kay Juan’, a showcase of Filipino spirit and creativity
As the Philippines
commemorates the 127th anniversary of its independence, the City of Firsts

creativity of the Filipino people. Through a vibrant lineup of activities,
Araneta City puts our culture, identity, and homegrown talents in the

more enjoyable, a live instrumental ensemble will perform on June 12.
At Gateway Mall 1, the Manila Bulletin Hatch Exhibit will
run from June 12 to 20. The exhibit will feature "HATCH 2025:
