President Manuel L. Quezon's Message to the People of the Philippines l Circa 1920s

'' "My fellow citizens: there is one thought I want you always to bear in mind. And that is - that you are Filipinos. That the Philippines are you country, and the only country God has given you. That you must keep it for yourselves, for your children, and for your children's children, until the world is no more. You must live for it, and die for it, if necessary. Your country is a great country. It has a great past and a great future. The Philippines of yesterday are consecrated by the sacrifices if lives and treasure of your patriots, martyrs and soldiers. The Philippines of today are honored by the wholehearted devotion to its cause of unselfish and courageous statesmen. The Philippines of tomorrow will be the country of plenty, of happiness and of FREEDOM. A Philippine 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. A republic of virtuous and righteous men and women all working together fo a better world than the one we have at present." ''

This speech really inspires not only me but also the people of the Philippines, because it states a reason why we the Filipinos are known for our traits, and moral characters. It also gave us motivations on how to love and serve our country wholeheartedly. It encourages us the youth into becoming a better Filipino and it also really gave us hope for the future
