In his toast through the vin d’honneur in Malacañang, Marcos stated the celebration had a brand new that means because the Philippines rose not from political oppression however from the “scarring” results of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Today’s celebration has taken a whole new different meaning, as we mark this occasion with renewed hopes and spirited resolve to rise anew as a nation, not from political oppression but from economic scarring engendered by the crippling and lingering effect of the pandemic,” Marcos stated.
“That is why, as a way to honor our forebears, it is my duty as President to keep this house in order, and steer the country to a high-growth path whose effect will be felt by each and every ordinary Juan dela Cruz,” he added.
