The Philippines will never be subservient to any external force that directs the country's own destiny, even as many unfreedoms remain, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said on Independence Day.
This "profound and transformative" event in our history, he said, must be reflected upon by Filipinos as it has allowed the country to evolve into how it is today. He recognized that it remains "an unassailable, self-evident principle that sovereignty resides in our people," stressing that the government now is "peopled by men and women of laws" and has a legal framework firmly in place that can enforce public order and bring justice which operates within a judiciary designed as an independent and impartial tribunal.
The President said these are to be seen as "expanded notions of human freedom," stressing that "independence is not the end but merely the principle means to achieve full development of the Filipino." Believing that everyone is involved in this collective pursuit of real freedoms, he called on the nation to support the free and independent republic.
