Bonifacio Day 2019

President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday calls on Filipinos to reflect on Andres Bonifacio's legacy of awakening the consciousness to fight for freedom.

"Up to this day, we are challenged to continue his revolution as we liberate ourselves from corruption, criminality, terrorism, illegal drugs and other social ills that continue to plague our society," Duterte says.

"Even in death, his great sacrifice persists to ignite spark of meaningful change so that we can bring this nation he had left behind to greater heights," he adds.
