Santo Domingo.- In the framework of the commemoration of Mother’s Day in Dominican Republic, President Luis Abinader sent a big hug to mothers.
On his social media, the president published a photograph of him giving his mother Rosa Sula Corona a kiss with the phrase “I love you very much mom”.
Today, throughout the Dominican Republic, Mother’s Day is celebrated, a commemoration that takes place every last Sunday of May. This is a tradition that dates back to 1926, when it was officially established at the initiative of Trina de Moya, wife of then-president Horacio Vásquez, and the prominent educator Ercilia Pepín, in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros.
