''Pres. Manuel L. Quezon''

There are many speech of Manuel L. Quezon during his reign or era in the Philippines, but for me this is one of most important speech of past president. Technically Pres. Manuel L. Quezon is First President of the Philippine Commonwealth during 1935-1944, and this speech is broadcast to the Filipino People in the mid-1920s. "Message to My People"

My fellow citizens there is one thought which I want you to have in mind. And that is that you are Filipinos, that the Philippines, is your country and the only country God has given you: that you must keep it for yourselves, for your children, and your children's children, until the world is no more and that you must live for it and die for it, if necessary. Your country is a great country. It has a great past, a great present, and a great future. The Philippines of yesterday was consecrated by the sacrifices of lives and pleasure of your patriots, martyrs, and soldiers. The Philippines of today is honored by the wholehearted devotion to its cause of unselfish and courageous statesmen. The Philippines of tomorrow will be the county of plenty, of happiness, and of freedom. It will be a Philippines with her head raised in the midst of the West Pacific, mistress of her own destiny. Holding in her hand the torch of freedom and democracy and pointing the way to the teeming millions of Africa and Asia now suffering under alien rule; A Philippine, heir in the orient to the teachings of Christianity: and a republic if virtuous and righteous men and women all working together for a better world than the one we have at present.

He said to this speech that our country is the great and the only country that God given to us, and we must die for it if necessary, so meaning we must not let foreign people to conquer us and make our country their. We must protect it for the future of our son and grandson, and to make the next generation that this is our country, the country that our great ancestors shed off some blood in order to protect.
