IRRI celebrates Philippine Independence

With a simple flag-raising ceremony, IRRI commemorated the 115th  year of Philippine independence at its headquarters on 11 June 2013. Photos


The activity opened with messages from Corinta Guerta, IRRI's external relations director, and Cesar Perez, vice governor of Laguna Province and incoming mayor of Los BaƱos. The vice governor was represented by Genalyn Serrano, his chief of staff who delivered the message on his behalf.

Members of IRRI management and staff gathered at the main rotunda  in front of F.F. Hill to take part in the ceremony, in solidarity with the Filipino nation, as they released balloons as a symbol of freedom while singing Ako ay Pilipino (I am Filipino).

The activity was organized by the Society of IRRI Non-research Professionals, in coordination with other sectoral organizations in the Institute and the Human Resource Services.
