Dear President Marcos,

On behalf of the family of the late Gov. Roque B. Ablan Sr., may we invite you to share a
video message in commemoration of the 116th Gov. Ablan Sr. Day on 9 August 2022.

Gov. Roque B. Ablan Sr. Day is a special non-working holiday in the Province of Ilocos
Norte by virtue of Republic Act No. 6941, to celebrate the birth and commemorate the
memory of one of Ilocandia’s heroes, Gov. Roque B. Ablan Sr. Since 1990, this event has
been a symbol of political and economic stability in the province, and a reflection of the
Ilocanos’ resilience and heroism. Your video message will definitely make this event a
very remarkable one.

We anticipate with gratitude your favorable response. For any concerns, your office may
contact Roque Benjamin C. Ablan at 0917-545-7233.

Agyamanak unay, Mr. President!

Very respectfully yours,

KRISTIAN R. ABLAN
Undersecretary
