PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. on Monday urged Filipinos to uphold their 'hard-earned freedom' valiantly fought for by the country's forefathers as the Philippines marks its 125th Independence Day celebration.
In his message, the Chief Executive encouraged the public to continue 'striving for excellence and integrity in all aspects of life' amid the struggle for independence from societal challenges.'This historic day confirmed what our forebears have religiously kept in their hearts: That we are the inheritors of the glorious heroism and nobility that our ancestors have demonstrated throughout our long and storied history.
As Filipinos encounter 'new oppressors and challenges,' Marcos asked citizens to remain defiant 'to defend what is ours'.'Freedom will not materialize unless it is declared boldly, believed sincerely, and demonstrated passionately. Now, in the age where battles remain but occur in places the eyes cannot see, it is more necessary to take to heart the immeasurable courage and loss that came out of our heroes,' he said.
