The Mandaluyong City Council passed Resolution No 3362 S-2023 which proclaims the Immaculate Conception as the Mother and Patroness of the city. The announcement was made during the first flag raising ceremony of the city government.
Vice Mayor Menchie Abalos handed a framed resolution to the representatives of the San Felipe Neri Parish Church, which houses an old image of Mary the Immaculate Conception.
In return, the church gave three portraits of the Immaculate Conception to be displayed in the offices of Mayor Ben Abalos, Vice Mayor Abalos, and the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
Mayor Abalos thanked the Catholic Church for its continued religious support to the city.
