Earlier today, December 30, 2025, the Local Government Unit of Tinambac, led by Mayor Edward Albert “Bobit” P. Prades together with the members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Department Heads, Municipal Employees, the PNP Tinambac led by PMAJ Arman G. Rubio, the BFP Tinambac led by SFOI Aureo S.J. Pomposo Jr., DepEd officials, Barangay officials, and the Freemasons of Camarines Sur Masonic Lodge No. 382, gathered at the Tinambac Rizal Park to honor the 129th Martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal.

Through a solemn wreath-laying ceremony, the life, sacrifices, and ideals of our national hero were remembered and cherished. A heartfelt tribute to the Philippine flag was also offered by Mason Oscar Chavez, symbolizing the deep love for country that Rizal embodied.

This year’s theme, “𝐑𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐥: 𝐒𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧, 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐰𝐚 𝐌𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐲,” resonated deeply with everyone present. It was thoughtfully and passionately discussed by the Guest Speaker, Dr. Federico Jose T. Lagdameo, Ph.D., a professor from the Philosophy Department of Ateneo de Naga University and a part-time lecturer at Ateneo de Manila University, who inspired the audience to reflect on Rizal’s enduring wisdom and vision.

Members of the Sangguniang Bayan shared heartfelt messages, expressing how Rizal’s life continues to guide and uplift our community. First Lady and Former Vice Mayor Belle Prades also delivered an inspiring message, reminding everyone that Rizal’s teachings are a beacon for unity, compassion, and nation-building.

With deep commitment and sincerity, Municipal Mayor Edward Albert “Bobit” P. Prades shared his message, relating Rizal’s life and principles to the daily responsibilities of civil servants. He vowed, from the depths of his heart, that just like Rizal, he would continue to serve dutifully as the Local Chief Executive, guided always by transparency, integrity, accountability, and good governance—working tirelessly for the progress, welfare, and dreams of every Tinambacqueño.
