A hundred and twenty-one years has passed since our forefathers bound their fates, their lives and their fortunes to proclaim the independence of the Filipino people. It was the most significant event in our country’s history. Not only did we put an end to more than three centuries of subservience but we also resolved to determine the course of our own destiny as a nation. But the freedom we achieved back then was not without cost. The tree of liberty blossomed on these lands because it was nourished by the sweat and blood or our patriots, heroes and martyrs. Let us commit ourselves to ensure that their sacrifices have not been in vain and that their dream of a truly independent Philippines - whose people live freely in a secure, stable and prosperous society - will be achieved within our lifetimes. May we have a solemn and meaningful observance.

  • 2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas
    My warmest greetings to the organizers, partners, nominees, and recipients of the Year 2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas. The Philippines now enjoys its rightful place in the global community due to our determination to seize all opportunities for growth, uplift lives, and help restore the Filipino’s distinction in this highly competitive climate. It has been four years since we began to transverse the straight and righteous path, and we have come far: Change has indeed set in. We have regained our people’s confidence in our bureaucracy and institutions; we have endeavored to establish the necessary reforms to empower our citizenry; and we have transformed our country from the “Sick Man of Asia” into one of the top performing economies in the world. We have achieved all these because of our solidarity towards equitable progress, ensuring that, as we move forward, no man is left behind. This is why we in government promote volunteerism and social corporate responsibility: To cascade the benefits of our socio-economic programs to the grassroots level and enable more of our countrymen, especially the poor, to lead dignified lives. I join the Commission on Filipinos Overseas as you hold this search to pay tribute to Filipino individuals and organizations that have contributed greatly to Philippine development initiatives and have served the interests of Filipino communities overseas. I congratulate your BENIGNO S. AQUINO III Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino, Kaanib ng Bayan, Banaag, The President of the Philippines and Pamana ng Pilipino Awardees as well, for your efforts to better the conditions of our kababayans here in the Philippines and abroad, and represent the Filipino MANILA talent and industry in your adoptive homelands.

  • Facts About Rizal
    Facts about Rizal It sounds absurd but there are people who are spreading statements that Adolf Hitler of Germany and Mao Zedong of China were sons of Jose Rizal. This is absolutely a hoax. Monuments in honor of Jose Rizal were erected in various parts of the world like Madrid, Spain; Wilhelmsfeld, Germany; Jinjiang, Fujian, China; Chicago, Cherry Hill Township, San Diego, Seattle, U.S.A.; Mexico City, Mexico; Lima, Peru; Litomerice, Czech Republic; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Three animal species were named after Rizal; Draco rizali, a species of flying dragon, Rachophorous rizali, a species of toad and Apogonia rizali, a beetle species. Rizal's statue in Jinjiang, Fujian, China is enshrined in a 5-hectare park built and named in his honor. The monument made of the world-famous Jinjiang granite stones, stands 18.61 meters high, taller than the 12- meter high Rizal statue in Luneta An exact replica of the Manila monument of the Philippines’ national hero Jose Rizal is built at the heart of this southern Chinese city, It also stands as a remembrance to his great, great grandfather, Domingo Lamco of Zhang-Guo province, who was once a resident and citizen of this great land. Construction of the monument began in 2002. Rizal Shrine was inaugurated on Jan. 23, 2003 in Siongque Village, Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, China. The shrine was built to commemorate Dr. Rizal’s Chinese ancestral roots. It symbolizes the strong bond of friendship between the Philippines and China The national hero is the direct descendant of Chinese trader Cua Yi Lam, who immigrated from Siongque ("Zhang-Guo" in Mandarin Chinese) to the Philippines in the later part of the 17th century.
