Incumbent Vice President Jejomar Binay and Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas will both be in Malaybalay City on September 1, 2014 for the 100th founding anniversary of the Province of Bukidnon, Mindanao.
Both Binay and Roxas are presumed standard bearers of their respective political parties for the 2016 presidential elections. Binay is a leader of the United Nationalist Alliance while Roxas is from the Liberal Party.
The Bukidnon Centennial celebration also coincides with the month-long Kaamulan Festival, a yearly gathering of Bukidnon’s 7 hill tribes.
