This manual was published for the 100th year anniversary of Philippine Independence for June 12, 1998.
The Philippines is observing this year the 100th year of the proclamation of Philippine Independence which led to the establishment of Asia’s first republic. The importance of the occasion led to the creation - through President Fidel V. Ramos’ Executive Order No. 128 - of the Philippine Centennial Commission. Its task is to plan, coordinate and execute the centennial celebration programs together with all government agencies and sectors of society.
The National Centennial Commission, in coordination with all government agencies and the private sector, has lined up various programs and activities to make this once-in-a- lifetime event truly meaningful and memorable for all our people. To achieve this and to drum up greater public participation, the 100 Days Countdown Committee was formed with the Department of the Interior and Local Government as the lead agency. Representatives from other government agencies and the private sector compose the committee.
(Local Chief Executives and officials shall coordinate with their respective Philippine Centennial Movement chapters, the Department of Education Culture and Sports, Department of Tourism, Department of Public Works and Highways, Philippine Information Agency, among others, and the Private Sector in undertaking activities related to the Centennial celebration.)
To ensure the successful implementation of these activities, the committee has prepared a manual to serve as reference and guide for local government units in the operationalization of activities during the 100 -day countdown period as well as for the celebration of the centennial on June 12.
The manual presents the objectives of the countdown, an indicative calendar of activities for the LGUs and sectoral groups, a calendar of events for the Centennial celebration, suggested activities that LGUs shall or may undertake for the celebration, and other relevant information about the Centennial, including a program on value reformation based on the “Kartilya ng Katipunan.”

To commemorate the epic struggle of the freedom-loving fighters of Panay and Romblon during the painful years of the Second World War in this part of the Pacific, a war memorial is erected on the beautiful plaza of Jaro, a district of the city of Iloilo.
This historic edifice symbolizes the spirit and substance of the noble and heroic movement which set aflame the hearts of men and women who ignored uncertainties, inconveniences, and even death in the name of love of country and democracy. Their names are now legend. Their patriotic deeds are now part of history.
The people of this region highly appreciates what the war veterans, their widows and orphans, have done in order to erect this war memorial specially the Greater Manila Chapter of the 6th Military District. Jaro is a very logical site for this memorial. Major encounters between the enemy forces and those of the 6th Military District were had at the outskirts of this district across the Jaro River.
(from the message of former Iloilo Governor Conrado J. Norada)
