Lanterns of hope light up in San Fernando

The launching of the lantern displays last Nov. 16 at the city’s Command and Control Center in Barangay San Isidro was witnessed by Mayor Edwin Santiago and former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as special guest.

The first to light up lantern displays were the Heroes Hall in San Juan, the City Hall and Poblacion Area and the Civic Center in San Isidro.

Engineer Remedios Agoncillo, city investment promotion officer, said that while the city government remains focused on health care and social services, her office exerted effort to light up lanterns to give hope to Fernandinos midst the pandemic.
