NANAWAGAN si Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez sa mga Pilipino na ipagpatuloy ang paglaban sa korapsyon, kawalang-katarungan at pagwawalang-bahala, dahil ang pagpapabaya rito ay pagtataksil sa mga sakripisyo ng mga bayaning nagbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan ng bansa.

“We remember that freedom was never given to us lightly. It was fought for, defended, and won through the blood, sweat and tears of those who came before us,” ani Speaker Romualdez sa kanyang mensahe para sa National Heroes Day.

“That is why we cannot allow corruption, injustice or indifference to undo the gains our heroes secured. To do so would be a betrayal of their memory,” dagdag pa ng lider ng Kamara.

Sinabi ni Speaker Romualdez na ang paggunita sa National Heroes Day ay hindi lamang para parangalan ang malalaking personalidad ng kasaysayan kundi pati na rin sa mga hindi mabilang na Pilipino na tahimik na nagsakripisyo para sa kalayaan ng bansa.

“On National Heroes Day, we honor not only the great figures of our history but also the countless Filipinos whose quiet sacrifices made our freedom possible. Their courage is a constant challenge to us in public service to place country above self,” ani Speaker Romualdez.

Binigyang-diin ni Speaker Romualdez na nakatuon ang Kamara sa pagpapatuloy ng pamana ng mga bayani ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng makabuluhang batas.

“In the House of Representatives, we strive to honor their legacy by passing laws that uplift the poor, protect our workers and farmers, and safeguard our sovereignty,” sabi ni Speaker Romualdez.

“Heroism did not end in the past. It lives on in our soldiers, teachers, health workers and ordinary citizens who put duty before comfort,” dagdag pa ng Speaker.

Ipinunto ng lider ng Kamara na bawat henerasyon ay may kanya-kanyang panawagan para sa kabayanihan.

“Each generation is called to be heroic in its own way. For us today, it means uniting to confront poverty, strengthen our democracy and defend our sovereignty in the face of new challenges,” ani Speaker Romualdez.

Dagdag pa ni Speaker Romualdez: “We owe it to them, and to those who will come after us, to build a Philippines worthy of their sacrifice. Mabuhay ang ating mga bayani! Mabuhay ang sambayanang Pilipino!”
