    January to June 2019 OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE PHILIPPINES IN NEW YORK 556 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10036 • Telephone: 212-764-1330 • Website: www.newyorkpcg.org • Email: [email protected] • Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PHLinNY/ Message on the Occasion of 121st Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence His Excellency Rodrigo Roa Duterte, President of the Philippines I am one with the Filipino people in commemorating the Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence. 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.
