Balilihan Mayor Pureza Veloso-Chatto (seated, center front row) said on Sept. 29, 2023: “As
we celebrate our 195th Foundation Anniversary called ‘SUMAD’, let us give praise and thanks
to God, with the loving intercession of our Mother Mary, for all the graces He has bestowed
upon us: for being our strength when we are weak, for bracing us up when we are falling
apart, for leading us the way when we are groping in the dark, for furthering into joy the
happiness in our hearts, for celebrating with us every pain and every victory in our lives!” With
