Marcos, FL Liza attend Manaoag Marian celebration

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos attended the 100th canonical coronation of Our Lady of Manaoag on Wednesday.

The canonical coronation took place at the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag in Pangasinan province where over one million devotees were expected to flock. The President offered a prayer during the Holy Mass. 

The centennial theme, ''Inan Maria: Crowned in Grace, Calling Us to Jesus,'' highlighted the Pangasinense term of endearment for the Blessed Virgin, which is ''Mother Mary.''

Fr. Roberto Reyes, O.P., Manaoag Minor Basilica spokesperson, said the theme commemorates the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would bear Jesus in anticipation of her role as the Mother of God. —VAL, GMA News
