    Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

    Ngayong ika-127 taon ng ating kasarinlan, sabay-sabay nating balikan at pahalagahan ang tapang, sakripisyo at pagmamahal sa bayan ng ating mga bayani. Ang kalayaan na tinatamasa natin ngayon ay bunga ng kanilang pakikibaka at tungkulin nating ipagpatuloy ito sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa, malasakit at paglingkod sa bayan.

    Sa temang “Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.”, paalala ito na ang kalayaan ay hindi lamang alaala ng kahapon, kundi gabay sa pagbuo ng mas maliwanag na bukas para sa lahat.
