Statement of Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles on National Heroes Day

We greet each Filipino on National Heroes Day. 

Our deepest sense of gratitude and appreciation goes to our frontliner medical professionals who show selfless heroism as they battle Covid-19, but we do not forget the everyday heroism of our security forces, our teachers, our government employees, as well as our workers from the private sector who ensure that peace and order is maintained and the economy is running during these trying times. 

What the pandemic made us realize is that every Filipino is a hero, and your daily sacrifice and hard work for family and country is worth celebrating and emulating.

Heroism is more effective as a collective effort because we share common goals, aspirations and challenges. We should continue dreaming and working together. We need to support each other as one Filipino nation, in deeds big and small. 

Lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang ginagawang kabayanihan para sa kapwa at para sa bansa. Mabuhay po ang bayang Pilipinas at patuloy tayong magbuklod-buklod bilang Pilipino!
