On this 128th Philippine Independence Day, the National Amnesty Commission pays tribute to the patriotism, courage, and sacrifices of the brave and devoted men and women whose unwavering love of country laid the foundation for the liberties we enjoy today. As we remember their struggles and triumphs, we are reminded of our profound responsibility to safeguard and strengthen the values for which they stood.

May this occasion continue to inspire us to deepen our sense of national pride and shared purpose. Let us continue to work toward peace, reconciliation, and unity, and move forward together toward a future where every Filipino can contribute to and benefit from a just and inclusive society. In honoring our past, may we strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people and continue advancing the cause of peace, reconciliation, and nation-building.
