Antequera residents who are eager to receive Philippine National Police chief Dir. General Ronald dela Rosa as the guest of honor during the municipality’s 141st anniversary will have to wait for another occasion to meet the arguably most known former resident of the town.
Dela Rosa who will supposedly arrive in Bohol tomorrow has cancelled his trip to the province as the police chief will instead fly to Davao City to tend to other matters, said Antequera officials.
The highest ranking police official whose mother traces her roots to the Bohol town was supposed to deliver a speech during the municipality’s celebration of its founding anniversary.
Other special guests including Governor Edgar Chatto however will still be attending the event.
Antequera’s founding anniversary celebration started on Sunday through the launch of the Basket Festival which was led by town Mayor Jose Mario Pahang.
During the six-day event, newly completed infrastructure of the town such as its public market, the extension of the Rural Health Unit building and police station will be blessed by Bishop Abet Uy.
Other events during the festivities include the Antequera Women’s Sports Fest and a bloodletting drive, among other activities. (Rey Tutas)
