Del Pilar’s 176th birthday marked quietly amid Bulacan floods

The 176th birthday of Filipino national hero Marcelo H. Del Pilar was commemorated quietly in Bulacan due to severe flooding caused by heavy monsoon rains. The usual annual ceremony, which includes offering wreaths at his shrine, was canceled as the floods disrupted normal activities. The event took place on August 30, but the celebration was subdued compared to previous years. The flooding affected multiple areas in Bulacan, making it difficult to hold large gatherings. This marks the first time in recent history that the commemoration has been significantly impacted by natural disasters.
