Pinuri ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez ang katatagan at tibay ng loob ng mga Pilipino sa pagharap sa Covid-19 na isa sa pinaka malaking hamon na kinaharap ng bansa na tinaguriang international crisis sa kalusugan.
Ang pahayag na ito ni Speaker ay kasabay sa paggunita sa ika-81st Araw ng Kagitingan.
“Let this day remind us that we are strong as a nation, that faced even with seemingly insurmountable odds we will always prevail as long as we are united, and as long as we continue to draw our strength from the virtues of our heroes. We do not give up, we press forward, and we overcome,” pahayag ni Speaker Romualdez.
Pinarangalan din ni Speaker ang mga fallen heroes ng “Fall of Bataan,” na ang nasabing makasaysayang araw ay paala sa ating mga Pilipino na patuloy sa pakikipag laban, sumulong at manatiling nagkakaisa.
“Today, as we commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan nationwide, we honor and recognize the gallantry of our fallen heroes, who willingly laid down their lives so that we can enjoy the blessings of freedom today. As we look back into the dark day that we now call the ‘Fall of Bataan,’ we must never forget the sacrifices of Filipino resistance fighters who stood up against the might of foreign invaders in World War II, which gave the rest of our nation the inspiration and strength to fight on,” wika ni Speaker Romualdez.
Binigyang-diin ni Romualdez,“We suffered, we fought, and we prevailed.”
“This day is a testament to Filipino courage and bravery, a fighting spirit that comes to the fore as we face adversity after adversity. This day reminds us of a priceless legacy: that the same courage and bravery our heroes displayed in the crucible of war–in the Fall of Bataan– run in our blood, through our veins. Isang mapagpalayang Araw ng Kagitingan sa inyong lahat,” Pahayag ni Speaker Martin Romualdez.
