Vice President Sara Duterte and House Speaker Martin Romualdez also honored the legacy of the fallen heroes of Bataan, hoping Filipinos will be inspired of their bravery and courage.
“As the legacy of our heroes and heroines came at a great and hefty cost, may we also re-examine our values and honor their lives by speaking up against discrimination, extending help to those in need, and working towards a better future,” Marcos said in his message.
Marcos also reminded Filipinos to bear in mind that their actions “will determine the future” of the Philippines, including the next generations. Duterte also hopes that the legacy of Filipino war veterans may inspire citizens in “our resolve of enriching our national heritage and strengthening our democratic institutions.”
"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," he said.
