The fight of renowned Philippine revolution leader Andres Bonifacio is not yet over, but it can be done in the present time through non-violent means, according to House Speaker Martin Romualdez. | GabrielLaluINQ
“Sa ganang akin, hindi pa tapos ang laban ni Gat Andres at iba pa nating bayani. Walang ganap na kalayaan kung may naghihirap pa rin sa lupang tinubuan. Ang laban para sa kalayaan ay hindi lamang himagsikan laban sa mga mananakop. Laban din ito para wakasan ang kagutuman. Laban para maranasan ang ginhawa sa buhay. Laban para matiyak ang magandang kinabukasan,” he added.
He then enjoined Filipinos to awaken heroism within one’s self and help in solving the country’s problems. “Sa araw na ito, gisingin natin ang kabayanihan sa bawat isa sa atin. Maging bayani para iangat ang buhay ng pamilya. Kumilos para maging bahagi ng solusyon sa mga problema ng bayan. Maging bayani para sa bansa at para sa kapwa,” he added.
While Bonifacio did not live to see the country’s independence, the Katipunan or the Kataas-Haasan, Kagalang-galang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan paved the way for the Philippine revolution.It was eventually Bonifacio’s co-Katipunan member and arch-rival Emilio Aguinaldo who declared independence from the Spaniards on June 12, 1898.
In his speech, Marcos said that the country should never again be subservient to an external force. He also called for unity again — his well-known catchphrase during the 2022 national elections — as the fight for freedom is still ongoing.
