“I wish to show those who deny us patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.” – Dr. Jose P. Rizal.
History is truly a masterpiece, a canvas painted with countless perspectives and interpretations. Yet, amidst its complexity, one truth remains: it is an art. Today, as we celebrate the independence of the Philippines, we witness the convergence of endings and beginnings, marking a significant moment in our nation's narrative.
On this day in 1898, the Philippines emerged officially free. But behind this proclamation lies a tapestry woven with the blood and ink of those who devoted their lives to defend our nation’s right. Let us pause, in this moment, to honor the valor of these brave souls who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Their history, written into the pages of time, is a lighthouse that points the way for us to go.
As we revel in the spirit of independence, let us reiterate our dedication to defending the freedom they so passionately fought for as we celebrate independence. May the sacrifices made by our heroes live on in our hearts forever, and may we be motivated by their bravery to strive for a future of harmony and prosperity. In in lieu of remembering the past, we take on the mission of fostering a better future today.
Happy Independence Day!
