PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE

124th Anniversary of  the Proclamation of Philippine Independence
12 June 2022

I am one with the Filipinos both here and abroad as we celebrate the 124th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence.

This occasion is a testament to how our forefathers fought for the freedoms that we enjoy today.

May it inspire us to take after the courage of our heroes as well as encourage us to use our ability, skills and knowledge for the benefit of our communities.

Take to heart all the humbling learnings from the past especially the countless hardships that we had to endure as a people. Let our rich history move us to translate our love for this country into real acts of goodwill for all our fellowmen.

Let us also work together so that we can realize our vision of the more harmonious and more progressive Philippines.

May we have a meaningful commemoration.

Mabuhay ang Pilipino! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES
