Journalists bravely risk their lives to uncover and share the truth behind every piece of information, issue, and challenge our country faces — with unwavering courage and conviction, undeterred by the potential consequences of speaking out.

Today, August 30, 2025 a commemorative ceremony was held to mark the 175th birth anniversary of Marcelo H. Del Pilar. The event was organized by Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, the Association of Philippine Journalists (APJ)—Samahang Plaridel Foundation Inc., and the Manila Police District. The Philippines celebrates National Press Freedom Day in honor of Marcelo H. Del Pilar, venerated as the Father of Philippine Journalism, who sought the country’s freedom with nothing more than a pen and paper. This day also serves to acknowledge journalists who refuse to remain silent — those who choose to speak out with integrity, driven by the pursuit of truth and accountability.

Article III, Section 4 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution affirms: “No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.’ Meaning Press freedom guarantees journalists the right to disseminate information without interference or intimidation — to express, publish, and communicate ideas, facts, and opinions without fear of censorship or repression. However, it does not extend to defamation, hate speech, or incitement to violence. This freedom ensures that the public continues to receive accurate and transparent information.

Voices that are not silenced, and pens that write freely, are essential to safeguarding and sustaining our democracy. The voices of journalists echo the voice of the people. They do not merely report the news; they illuminate realities what might otherwise remain hidden. Let us stand in solidarity with those who seek the truth — and continue to uphold it.

“True love of the country is not a mere proclamation but is proven through sacrifice and action.” - Apolinario Mabini

These words remain alive every National Heroes’ Day, celebrated every year, on the 25th of August. More than just a holiday, it is a day of reflection—a reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and dreams of those who came before us. A time to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives for the country. It’s not only about the names we already know from our history books, like Rizal, Bonifacio, or Mabini, but also about the countless unsung heroes who fought silently and bravely for our freedom.

The day was originally connected to the Cry of Pugad Lawin in 1896, when Filipinos first stood up together against Spanish rule. That single act of courage sparked a movement that eventually led to independence. Today, more than a century later, the meaning of heroism continues to grow and evolve.

Our heroes are no longer just those on battlefields. We also see them as doctors and nurses who care for the sick, teachers who shape young minds, farmers and workers who keep the nation alive, and ordinary citizens who choose honesty and kindness every day.

National Heroes’ Day reminds us that heroism can be found in simple but powerful acts of service.

As we celebrate today, may we not only remember the sacrifices of those before us but also ask ourselves: How can I be a hero in my own way? Whether it’s through service, integrity, or compassion, each of us has the chance to continue their legacy. After all, the Philippines still needs heroes today—not just in history, but in real life.

As we honor our heroes, let us remember: their story is unfinished. It now rests in our hands to write the next chapters. The question is—will we be the kind of Filipinos they dreamed we would become?

It’s now the time to put that chill-days vibe on, to never tap that alarm on repeat snooze, to doomscroll non-stop, to binge-watch your favorite shows, to be a resident couch potato, to be glued at your phone playing mobile games, to chat with friends until midnight and wander off here and there with your barkadas. ⏰📱😎🗣️🧩🚲🕹️

BUT ~

It could also be a profound time to spend helping do the house chores, bonding with family, enjoying slow mornings, reflecting upon your blessings, finishing up some school deadlines, starting a hobby, developing a skill, studying for the exams and to sleep like a log for a recharged energy for when the classes resume. ☀️🧹🥧📖🏸💤📙

Almost everybody has already gotten a hold of that yellow Philippine Peso bill, but do you know the story behind the man printed on it — the history and legacy he holds? A story of courage, conviction, and sacrifice. A history etched not just in currency, but imprinted in the very soul of our nation.

Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino was a prominent Filipino politician and a beacon of hope for democracy in the Philippines. Born on November 27, 1932, he served as a senator and became a vocal critic of President Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorial regime. Despite being imprisoned for several years and later exiled to the United States, Ninoy remained steadfast in his pursuit of freedom and reform. His determination to bring about change led him to return to the Philippines in 1983, fully aware of the risks he faced.

On August 21, 1983, Ninoy’s life was cut short when he was assassinated at the Manila International Airport—now named the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in his honor. His death sent shockwaves throughout the nation, sparking widespread outrage and igniting protests against the Marcos regime. The event galvanized the opposition and ultimately led to the People Power Revolution in 1986, which restored democracy in the Philippines.

Ninoy’s famous words, “𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐹𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑜 𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟,” became a rallying cry for those fighting for democracy and human rights. His legacy continues to inspire generations of Filipinos, serving as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right and protecting the freedom and dignity of the Filipino people.
