SOME students from selected daycare centers and schools in San Fernando on Tuesday, September 11, remembered Fernandina heroine Nicolasa Dayrit through the "IsaPuso ang Makulay na Buhay ni Nicolasa Dayrit Pautakan Festival" at Heroes Hall in the City of San Fernando.
The event was organized by the City Government of San Fernando through the Executive Committee of Women's Week celebration.
