“One hundred and twenty-five years since the declaration of independence in Cavite, it is appropriate to pause, to reflect on how far we have come from that profound transformative event in our history. The heroes of our liberation would be proud to know that we have thrown off the ominous yolk of domination,” the President said.
According to Marcos, the country has remained true to the desires of heroes — to be a vibrant democracy with a stable government. “Then, as now, it remains an unassailable evident principle that sovereignty resides in our people. Ours is a government peopled by men and women of laws, we have a legal framework firmly in place that can enforce public order and bring justice which operates within a judiciary designed as an independent and impartial tribunal,” he added.
