Martial Law remains one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. It was a time marked by fear, abuse, and silenced freedoms. Yet in the end, it was the people who prevailed.
Today, we face a different kind of battle — one not waged with arms, but with integrity and accountability. Corruption remains our greatest enemy, robbing our children of classrooms, our families of hospitals, and our people of their dignity every day. Yet just as the nation once stood together to overcome tyranny, so too will it be the strength of the people that will bring an end to corruption.
This day is a reminder that true power does not lie in the hands of a dictator, nor in the wealth of the few, but in the collective strength of a people bound by courage, hope, and bayanihan.
Hindi tayo makakalimot. At hindi tayo titigil hanggang masiguro nating ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan ay nakaugat sa katapatan, katarungan, at pagkakaisa.
