PBBM to Filipinos: Emulate Bonifacio’s loyalty, love for country

By Katrina Gracia Consebido

 

On Andres Bonifacio Day, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Wednesday, Nov. 30, urged Filipinos to “emulate the loyalty and love for the country” of the Philippine national hero.

Nov. 30 marked the celebration of the 159th birth anniversary of Bonifacio.

“Kaya naman sikapin natin na maging pinakamahusay na uri ng ating mga sarili; na maging Pilipino na ang katapatan at pagmamahal sa bayan ay kapares ng ating mga bayaning tulad ni Gat Andres,” Marcos said.

He also hailed uniformed personnel, health workers, and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) as “modern-day heroes.”

“Magagawa po natin ito sapagkat katuwang natin ang ating mga makabagong bayani—ang ating mga doktor, mga nars, mga sundalo, mga pulis, OFWs, at ang bawat Juan at Juana—na buong pusong naglilingkod para sa kapwa,” he added.

“Sama-sama nating harapin ang mga hamon ng panahon ngayon nang may pagmamahal sa bayan, determinasyon, tapang, [at] karangalan upang maitaguyod natin ang isang Pilipinas na tunay na nais natin ipagmalaki,” he continued.

He also appealed to Filipinos to continue honoring Bonifacio and other heroes who sacrificed their lives for the freedom and independence the Filipinos enjoy today. -gb
