Over 92 schools and independent marching bands paraded one after another, demonstrating discipline, culture, and that love for the country that still vibrates strongly in the youth. On November 28, the people of Boquete awoke with that pride one feels in the chest when they love their country. The central events were led by President José Raúl Mulino, accompanied by several of his ministers, all deeply involved in the patriotic festival that the district moves with force every year. Amid the clamor of drums, uniformed children, and families lining the sidewalks, the president said he hopes that next year more job openings will be created and the economic engine that so many Panamanians feel has stalled will be reactivated. A direct message for those who are looking for a way to survive each day. The flag bearer of the parade was the Minister of the Presidency, Juan Carlos Orillac, who also took the opportunity to remember that, in addition to economic development, it is necessary to care for the patriotic fervor that unites all Panamanians, no matter what neighborhood they come from. The streets of Boquete filled like a swollen river when the delegations set off.
