As written, “Sa gitna ng mga pagsubok, ang pagmamahal sa bayan at tatag ng kalooban ang siyang nagbigay daan upang makawala tayo sa tanikala ng pagka-alipin at pang-aabuso.”
(Amid the struggles, patriotism and strength is the reason why we are able to let go from the chains of slavery and abuse.)
The president also gave emphasis how strong were the Filipinos as they showed the world their strength to have what is rightfully ours.
And it is just right to give the sacrifices of our heroes a significance and importance through being a good citizen.
Through being a good citizen, the president says, “Isa lamang ito sa mga maaari nating gawin upang masuklian ang kanilang pagpapakasakit para sa bansa upang matamasa natin ngayon ang isang maunlad at masaganang Pilipinas.”
(It is just one way to show gratitude from all the pains they have gone through for our country to be what it is right now, progressive and bountiful.)
