This year we mark the 21st Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day. By virtue of Republic Act 9187, we commemorate the cultural and historical ties, friendship and cooperation between the Philippines and Spain on June 30 of each year. This was one of the legacies of my father, former Senator Ed Angara, who saw the importance of looking at one of the darkest periods in our nation’s history in a positive light.
Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, who was our guest of honor for this year’s celebration in Baler, took note of how the colonial relationship between the Philippines and Spain has now been replaced by a friendship that is founded on mutual harmony and respect. It is a friendship that endures and was very much evident during the height of the pandemic when Spain fostered Philippine access to Covid vaccines through the COVAX initiative.
The 2023 Phil-Span and Siege of Baler rites were made even more significant with the inauguration of the Senator Edgardo J. Angara Convention Center and the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Philippine-Spanish National Museum.
