In his Holy Week message, Mayor Flores said: “Today is a day when we remember the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice he made for us when He died on the cross at Calvary. Along with my staff and their families, we would like to wish everyone a safe trek up Mt. Tapochau as we partake in this traditional holy event.”
He added, “We have done the best we could with the limited resources by ensuring the roads are accessible and safe. May the Lord bless us all and as we observe this day of mourning; and later celebrate the joy of Easter this coming Sunday.”
