The town of San Miguel is gearing up for its 65th Foundation Anniversary on March 14, 2026, capped by a free concert headlined by Filipino R&B and pop band South Border.
Mayor Ian Gil Mendez announced the celebration during an interview by ArdyAraneta-Batoy over DYTR’s Open Forum radio program.
South Border, known for hits including “KahitKailan” and “Rainbow,” will perform at the Oval beginning at 7 p.m.
A week of activities is scheduled to begin March 8, with themed nights and events leading up to the culminating program March 14, 2026.
The formal anniversary celebration will feature displays of the town’s agricultural produce.
A job fair is also planned in partnership with employers to connect residents with employment opportunities.
A livelihood funding workshop, conducted in cooperation with the Department of Labor and Employment, will teach community groups how to apply for financial assistance.
Mendez used the occasion to underscore the need for preparedness amid global challenges, even as the town enters a celebratory period.
Under Mendez’s administration, the town has expanded basic services, particularly healthcare, and now operates its own hospital that extends financial assistance to indigent residents.
Infrastructure and public facilities have also seen improvements in recent years.
