On National Heroes Day, we remember Dr. Josรฉ Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Gabriela Silang, Tandang Sora, and the many Filipinos who offered their lives, courage, and service for our freedom.
Today, heroism continues through our farmers, teachers, healthcare workers, rescuers, volunteers, environmental defenders, and ordinary citizens who help communities during times of crisis. Even as students, we can become modern-day heroes by speaking the truth, caring for creation, helping those affected by disasters, and standing for what is right.
As many communities, including our own province, continue to experience flooding, we call for urgent environmental action and climate justice. We respectfully urge the National Government to go beyond temporary relief and provide transparent, effective, and long-term solutions; protect our forests, rivers, watersheds, and coastal areas; strengthen disaster preparedness; ensure that public funds truly serve the people; and hold accountable those responsible for ineffective or neglected projects.
May the courage of our heroes inspire us to build a nation where no Filipino is repeatedly left vulnerable whenever heavy rains come. Guided by Faith, Service, and Competence, may we become heroes who protect both our fellow Filipinos and our common home.
Ang kabataan ay hindi lamang pag-asa ng bayan. Ang kabataan din ay katuwang sa pagkilos para sa makatarungan, ligtas, at maunlad na kinabukasan.
