MANILA, Philippines – President’s critics
continue to desperately scrutinize and demolish his administration in all
means, as his advocacies and visions continue to grow and bear good results.
The government encourages unifying with his reforms instead of throwing malice
on his term.
Aquino solicited Filipinos to assist him and draw solidarity.
In his speech, he signified the spirit of the celebration, that it is a day of
remembering all those whose heroism made it possible to enjoy the blessings of lifelong
independence and the given opportunity towards country’s development.
He also said that it is a day of thanksgiving that the country is
spared from very serious threats of war and violence and stolen freedom.
Then
he finally called it a moment for reflecting on the various meanings and
symbols of heroism, singling out Filipinos who continue to bestow heroism a
face, such as the Overseas Filipino workers and of ordinary volunteers who had
served the country during calamities.
