The celebration will kick off at 5pm and continue until 10pm at the NMC South Field across from the NMC Gym in As Terlaje.<\/p>\n

The event will feature various entertainment and competitions, including the Marianas Idol singing contest, Battle of the Bands, and the Hi-Lux Truck & Sport Compact Car Show.<\/p>\n
