QUEZON CITY (PIA) – The City Government of Taguig and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that would pave the way towards the digitalization and publication of a book entitled, “Taguig, Our Probinsyudad.”
Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano and NHCP Chairman Dr. Emmanuel Calairo signed the MOA on Thursday, September 14 at the Conventional Hall, New Taguig City Hall Building.
The “Taguig, Our Probinsyudad” book lays out the history, challenges, and growth of Taguig towards a modern and progressive city.
In his message, Dr. Calairo, an author and researcher, underscored the importance of the public’s continued interest in culture and tradition.
“Tayo pong mga naririto, mayroon po tayong iisang interes dahil nakikita po natin ang value ng pagprepreserba’t pagdodokumentaryo ng ating kasaysayan at dapat itong interes na ‘yan ay patuloy na naipapasa. Sapagkat kung hindi po natin maipapasa’t iingatan ‘yan upang sa darating na panahon, kapag naglegislate tayo ng resolution importante po na naiintindihan natin kung gaano kahalaga ang ginagawa natin,” said Dr. Calairo.
For her part, Mayor Cayetano expressed her excitement in sharing the book with her constituents.
“Sa pamamagitan po ng programang ito na labis naming ikinagagalak ay magiging accessible ang mga impormasyon na hango sa aklat na ito at maabot nito ang higit sa maraming mga kababayan natin maging ang mga banyagang gusto na makakuha ng pagkatuto mula sa ating mahal na Probinsyudad,” said Mayor Cayetano.
