La Camara Celebrates 4th Philippine-Spanish Day With An Economic Luncheon

In commemoration of the long history of friendship of the Philippines and Spain, La Camara held a luncheon last June 17, 2019 to celebrate and further tighten the ties between the two countries.

The lunch brought everyone to a trip down memory lane as they share a glimpse of history when the countries’ friendship started on July 1, 1898 at the church of Baler.

As Baler celebrates this momentous event for the 17th time (in accordance to Republic Act No. 9187), this year will also mark the town’s 120th Anniversary simultaneous with La Camara’s 120th Anniversary.
