CLARK, Pampanga – President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will visit here tomorrow
to grace the “Tribute to the Past Presidents” affair of the Integrated Bar
of the Philippines-Pampanga Chapter to be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel.
After the IBP affair, the President will preside over the full Cabinet
meeting to discuss the progress of the administration’s supra regions’
development projects around the country.
The President will arrive here after she inaugurates the Juan Macaraeg
National High School library in Binalonan, Pangasinan which features an
e-library.
Dubbed as “Aldo Ning Parangal: A Tribute to the Past Presidents of the IBP-Pampanga
Chapter,” the Clark affair will honor 17 past presidents of the organization
for their valuable contributions to the welfare of the society, particularly
in the administration of justice.
Atty. Maria Imelda Tuazon, incumbent president of IBP-Pampanga, said the
affair will “give recognition to the past presidents of the chapter who have
each played a vital role in the pursuit of the organization’s three fold
objectives.”

improve the administration of justice, and 3) to enable the bar to discharge
its public responsibility more effectively.
“This is a good time to honor them,” Tuazon said, adding that the chapter
has to give recognition to the achievements of their former leaders who have
uplifted the standard of legal profession in Pampanga.
