General Santiago Rodríguez honored at Santiago Rodríguez Multisectoral Fair

At the Quinta Feria Multisectorial de Santiago Rodríguez, a roundtable discussed the historic “five‑star” rank created for large‑scale wartime operations and highlighted General Santiago Rodríguez’s role as the Father of the Dominican Restoration of Independence. Participants from diverse fields—Miguel Díaz, Ricardo González, Papo Fernández and Orlando Reyes—shared research on the general’s campaigns, including his leadership at Sabana Larga.

The event, organized by the Cámara de Comercio y Producción de Santiago Rodríguez, aimed to strengthen regional identity and leadership by linking the five‑star concept to contemporary territorial advancement. Speakers emphasized the general’s persistence and strategic achievements, proposing that the five‑star symbolism can guide future local development.
