With the theme, "Kasaysayan Ay Balikan, Kalayaan Ay Pahalagahan", the Bulwang Elementary School (BES) Cultural Group presented a pageant on the Evolution of the Philippine Flag during the celebration of the 111th Philippine Independence on June12, Numancia Cultural Stage. It was the school’s tribute to the great heroes of our land for their bravery and patriotism.


"Balik tanaw sa Kasaysayan" is a re-enactment of the historical events on how the Philippines regained its liberty from Spain. It commenced with the portrayal of Spanish cruelty and injustice against the Filipinos which resulted to the rise of the revolution with the famous first "Battle Cry in Pugadlawin."

The pageant culminated with the re-enactment of the historic declaration of the first Philippine Independence and the hoisting of the first Philippine Flag by the guest speaker P/S Supt. William S. Macavinta.

The event was highlighted with the symbolic release of the doves acclaiming the Philippines’ absolute freedom as the BES pupils did their own rendition of "Inang Bayan".

The pageant, "Balik Tanaw sa Kasaysayan" was participated in by 30 pupils of the said school under the direction of Ms. Joyce M. Toriaga, chairman on cultural presentation. Mary Abbygail Adriene L. Enriquez, the scriptwriter of the said cultural presentation directed the pageant. /MP
