The Bacolod human flag was a part of the celebration of the 111th Independence Day last June 12. The volunteers were city government employees, and public and private school students. As I’ve mentioned before, the students can always provide the warm bodies for the human flag.
The length of the parade is from Burgos-Lacson to Hilado-Burgos Streets and headed to the New Government Center (NGC). Helicopter units of the Philippines Air Force flying above NGC greeted the contingents.
It doesn’t really matter if the city qualifies for a Guinness or not. As long as Negrenses, and Filipinos in general, put to heart the reasons behind the celebration of the Independence Day.
