Did you know: Mandaluyong celebrates

On Feb. 9, Mandaluyong will celebrate two milestones in its history. The first is its 69th Liberation Day when American Liberation Forces saved the municipality from Japanese Imperial Forces during World War II.  The second is its cityhood anniversary, marking its conversion from a municipality to a highly urbanized city through Republic Act No. 7675 signed by former President Fidel V. Ramos on Feb. 9, 1994. The conversion of the city was confirmed following a plebiscite held on April 10, 1994. Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
