President Aquino: We must also remember that there are many heroes who remain anonymous—whose deeds are not known to many. There are the Filipinos who, instead of giving up in the face of calamities, helped and worked alongside their countrymen without a second thought. There are the teachers who devote their lives to guiding the succeeding generations. There are the members of law enforcement who choose to fulfill their responsibilities, instead of giving in to the temptation of easy money. There are our soldiers who protect our territory and people with true courage. There are the professionals who use their skills and knowledge to serve their fellow Filipinos. There are the leaders of religious institutions who are our allies in fighting corruption and in pushing for reform. And there are all our countrymen—each and every citizen who strives for success, in order to become a productive member of society. On behalf of the Filipino people, I thank all of you. You are proof that our nation is indeed a nation of heroes. Read the full speech:
