ARAW NG KAGITINGAN | Sa araw na ito, ating inaalala ang mga bayaning nagbuwis ng buhay, at ang mga tumindig laban sa nakahihigit na puwersa. Ang kanilang sakripisyo ay patunay na ang pagmamahal at katapatan sa bayan ay ang mga katangiang nagbibigay-kahulugan sa ating pagiging Pilipino.

Nawa'y magsilbi ang araw na ito bilang isang buhay na panawagan ng pagkilos at pagkakaisa sa harap ng mga modernong pagsubok. Ang kalayaan at kapayapaan na kanilang ipinamana ay tungkulin nating ingatan at ipagtanggol para sa mga susunod pang hererasyon.
