Boquete woke up with that pride that is only felt when an entire town unites to honor its history. However, on this November 27, the celebrations for the 204th anniversary of Panama's Independence from Spain began, and the Boquete community chose Minister of the Presidency, Juan Carlos Orillac, as the flag bearer, a gesture he received with visible emotion. "Boquete is a special place for me… its climate, its people, and the hospitality they always provide. Being the flag bearer here is an important moment in my life," the minister shared with the people who accompanied him in the delivery of the National Flag. In turn, Mayor Eduardo Rodríguez explained that this tradition of handing over the flag on the night of November 27 is a symbolic act that marks the official start of the patriotic festivities. "For us, it is an honor that Minister Orillac is the flag bearer of this town that always receives everyone with open arms. This shows support for a municipal administration that works for its people," he expressed. Ministers of State, local authorities, and Governor Aixa Santamaría also joined the ceremony, accompanying the head of the Presidency in this event filled with respect and patriotic sentiment.
