Honoring the Pillars Behind the Success of the 142nd Founding Anniversary of Mondragon.

Ursa, Mondragon!

𝑺𝑬𝑷𝑻𝑬𝑴𝑩𝑬𝑹 22, 2025 || 142𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑫𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑨𝑵𝑵𝑰𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑨𝑹𝒀 𝑪𝑼𝑳𝑴𝑰𝑵𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑫𝑨𝒀

Yesterday, our beloved town didn’t just mark another year in its history—it celebrated a living tapestry of its people, their hopes, their achievements, and their shared identity.

The 142nd Founding‑Anniversary Culmination Day commenced with a solemn Holy Mass led by Rev. Fr. Sandy Nito Quibal, Parish Priest, followed by a Civil‑Military Parade graced by municipal officials; school heads and teachers from the three school districts; partner agencies; barangay officials from the 24 barangays; and various stakeholders.

In his address, Mayor Mario Madera posed the question,
“𝑯𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒂 𝒌𝒊𝒕 𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂?”
He emphasized that this year’s founding anniversary activities were all people‑centered—sports, health services, talent showcases, legal and social services, cultural events, employment opportunities, and civil unions—all designed to strengthen the very foundation of Mondragon, its PEOPLE.
He concluded with a hopeful reminder,
“𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒐 𝒏𝒂 𝒂𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒂𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒕, 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒐 𝒑𝒂 𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒕 𝒌𝒖𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒈 𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒃𝒖𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒕."

A deep sense of pride and reflection filled the air as Guest Speaker Mr. Romulo G. De Guia, former OIC‑Mayor and public school teacher, delivered his powerful message echoing the spirit of unity, resilience, and progress of the town.

Another highlight during the culmination day was the recognition of Mondragonhon graduates with Latin honors academic excellence —proof that we are not only a community rich in culture, but also a home to brilliant minds.

It was indeed a meaningful celebration.
The Local Government Unit of Mondragon, under the leadership of Mayor Mario Madera, extends its deepest appreciation to everyone who took the time and effort to make the event successful.
