SunStar March 01, 2021 MUNTINLUPA City, which is turning 26 today (March 1, 2021), will mark the milestone event with subdued ceremony where Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi is expected to lay down plans for the recovery of the city.
March 1, 1995 marked the day when President Fidel V. Ramos signed the city charter conferring on the former 5th class municipality the status of a highly urbanized city. This writer became Muntinlupa’s first city mayor, while Fresnedi became its first city vice mayor. The early period of cityhood was marked by rapid strides in city governance, health, education and welfare programs but was tempered by several tumultuous attempts by rebels to unseat the Cory Aquino government.
