[Bit of History]

Dipolog rose to prominence during World War II in the Victor IV Operations to retake Mindanao due to the complementary, albeit significant role it played in the ensuing Battle for Zamboanga and the Sulu Archipelago, because of the strategic location of its airfield.

81 years ago, a battle was fought in defense of the Dipolog Airfield. A young man, Corporal Jesus "Jake" B. Ilogon, then a 20-year old guerilla from Iligan, had his first taste of battle here.

Cpl. Ilogon recalls: “At 8AM in the morning of April 24, 1945 three P-38 Lightnings (called double-body by the locals) made a shallow dive and strafed the Japanese in three passes. The plane barrage was a grim show from our grandstand ridge.”

Here is the Official Poster for National Heritage Month 2026 bearing the theme “Roots and Horizons: Our Shared Heritage, Our Collective Future”

At the heart of this year’s visual is the banig—a symbol of connection, continuity, and community. Just as each strand is carefully woven, our heritage is shaped by the many stories, traditions, and identities that bind us as Filipinos across generations.

Surrounding it are diverse communities, reminding us that heritage belongs to all of us—lived, practiced, and passed on in everyday life. The rising sun speaks of hope, while the vibrant colors reflect the richness and dynamism of our cultural expressions.

As we celebrate National Heritage Month this May, we are invited not only to look back with pride, but to take part in carrying our heritage forward. It is not confined to the past—it is a living legacy, sustained by collective care and shared responsibility.

Together, let us honor our roots and shape our collective future.
