Go to public on Independence Day: Keep spirit of bayanihan, nationalism alive

As the country celebrated its 123rd declaration of its independence on Saturday, Senator Bong Go reminded all Filipinos to keep the spirit of bayanihan and nationalism burning as the country continues to be embattled by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Patuloy tayong magkaisa bilang isang sambayanang Pilipino upang malampasan natin ang mga pagsubok sa panahong ito. Paigtingin natin ang diwa ng bayanihan upang makamit natin ang ligtas at mapayapang Pilipinas,” the senator and former presidential assistant said.

Go also highlighted the virtues of courage, compassion, and love for country shown by the country’s heroes from past generations which are now being emulated by modern-day heroes who are fighting to protect the welfare, well-being, and ways of life of every Filipino today.

“Nawa’y sa araw na ito, hindi lang natin gunitain ang naging dakilang sakripisyo at pag-aalay ng buhay ng ating mga ninuno na nakipaglaban para sa kalayaan ng ating bayan mahigit isandaang taon na ang nakalipas,” he said in a statement.

“Sana ay ipagpatuloy rin nating isadiwa maging sa ngayon ang ating pagbabayanihan, pagmamahal sa bayan at pagmamalasakit sa kapwa Pilipino,” he added.

On June 12, Go joined President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in the 123rd Independence Day celebrations held in Malolos City, Bulacan, themed “Kalayaan 2021: Diwa ng Kalayaan sa Pagkakaisa at Paghilom ng Bayan.”

Faced with the modern challenges imposed by the pandemic, Go said that bayanihan and nationalism will help the nation take its freedom back from the invisible enemy.

“Ito ay upang makamit din natin ang ating kalayaan sa gitna ng pandemya—ang kalayaan mula sa sakit at banta sa ating buhay at kalusugan, kalayaan mula sa kahirapan at iba’t ibang dagok sa buhay, at kalayaan mula sa mga pekeng balita at maling impormasyon,” he said.

“Ang lahat ng ito ay ating makakamit kung ipagpapatuloy natin ang ating pakikiisa at pagsunod sa mga hakbang na itinakda ng gobyernong tunay na may malasakit sa lahat upang wakasan ang pandemya,” Go added.
