In Balete, the 150th birth anniversary celebration of Dr. Jose P. Rizal on June 19, 2011 was an inspiration and a major activity of DepEd pursuant to DepEd Memorandum No. 90, Series of 2011. His notable contributions in framing desirable virtues and developing the culture of knowledge with the use of his pen as a strong weapon that awaken his people to stop colonialism and abuses against the Filipinos are worthy of emulation.
The celebration started with a National Fun Run for Education geared on a theme: "Every Runner A Finisher, Ever Finisher, A Winner". This was undertaken simultaneously nationwide. It started at exactly 6:30 in the morning in the four assembly places as in Group A (Dodoemon Junction), Group B (front of Jemera’s Residence), Group C (Field’s View), and Group D (Front of St. Jude Chapel-Archangel). Balete DepEd Officials, teachers, students, parents, and local community officials participated and enjoyed.
The local government of Balete strongly supported by DepEd, "Daya hay mabueawanon gid nga programa sa pagta-o it kadungganan sa atong baganihan nga si Dr. Jose Rizal", enunciated by SB member Crispino Beltran, Jr. as PTA Federated President.
"It is indeed noteworthy to give high credit to DepEd Officials, teachers and students of the District of Balete for spearheading the celebration of the birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, a strong advocate of true education, a farmer, a scientist, a physician, and artist," stressed by SK Federated President representing the Municipal Mayor of Balete.
A program was held in Rizal’s monument. It was highlighted with the reading of the minutes of material donations, copies of which were distributed to the student participants and the coordinators of the Community Learning Centers for ALS students. /MP
