SAN PEDRO, Laguna—Every year, the town celebrates the sampaguita, the country’s national flower, but the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the festivities for years. Last May 1, the festival launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Laguna Governor Ramil Hernandez, Vice Governor Karen Agapay, San Pedro City Mayor Joseph Francis “Art” Mercado, and his wife, Mika.
