I feel grateful to those men and women whose selfless actions and services have helped to secure the freedom, rights and peace for the good of our country. I express my gratitude for their bravery, determination and sacrifice. Aside from our national heroes I also regard our frontliners as living heroes of the present day. They are risking their life and limbs in the battle against the pandemic. Happy Independence Day for all!

When I remember the sacrifices of the national heroes I have a deep respect for them because of the pains and difficulties that they have undergone. On the other hand I appreciate their courage, strength and honourable deeds. They fought for values and faith. From them, we learn the importance of freedom and love for people.

Whenever I remember our national heroes, I can say that I have learned not to give up in the battle of my life, because I am also involved in struggles and I do not want to be a loser. Our heroes did not despair even up to the last drop of their blood.
I will not give up on any challenges in my life. I face it because I believe that while there is life there is hope. Happy Independence Day!

Our heroes have inspired us to become better people and they are role models to us. I’m proud and thankful to all our national heroes who fought for the freedom of our country and for the legacy that they have left to us. Let us give honour to them and always remember them for all the sacrifices they made especially to those who died for the country.
We overseas workers are also called modern heroes because of our contribution to the economic growth of our country and most importantly our sacrifices to work hard to give our family a comfortable life and a better future for our children, despite our hardships and homesickness. Let God be the centre of our lives. Have a strong faith in him because he is always with us, and never leave us in the journey of our lives.

We owe our liberty to our national heroes who fought hard even to the extent of sacrificing their lives. Their unselfishness, bravery and patriotism are worthy of our gratitude and respect.
In our present day, we too are surrounded by many unknown heroes. I appreciate their willingness to sacrifice for others in need without any expectations of reward. Salute to our heroes who are helping us to survive during the pandemic of Covid-19. God bless all heroes!

When I think of the sacrifices of the national heroes such as Andres Bonifacio, the Katipunan, and Jose Rizal, I feel awe and, more than anything else, grateful. Whenever I think about how these people chose to forego their safety for the greater good of all, I feel a deep reverence towards them for their bravery and selflessness. For if not for them, we wouldn’t have this freedom, independence, and democracy that we enjoy right now.
