00:04that is the call of some of the lawmakers in the middle of our celebration of the day of freedom this Wednesday.

00:17The celebration of the day of freedom here in Baraswain Church in Malolos, Bulacan will start at 11 o'clock.
00:25This will be led by House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:28But before that, they have already delivered their message.
00:31Today is the day of freedom, others will decide.
00:36According to the House Committee on Human Rights Chair Bienvenido Abante Jr.,
00:39although he is happy with the celebration of the day of freedom in the Philippines,
00:44it is also a good thing that each one of them has the true message of the occasion.
00:49In the midst of various issues that the country is facing,
00:52his question is, are we really free?
00:55Abante's wish and prayer is for the Philippines to be recognized as an independent and sovereign country.
01:02House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro's wish is the same.
01:07His call to every Filipino is for us to fight for our true freedom.
01:14Aside from that, today we are waiting for the message of House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:21He will lead the celebration of the day of freedom here in Baraswain Church in Malolos, Bulacan.
01:26The role of Baraswain Church and history is important
01:29because this is the place where the first Philippine Congress was convened.
01:35In these points, let's listen to the part of the message of Abante and Castro.
01:41We are thankful that our people ought to recognize the independence of the country.
01:48But the question is, are we truly independent?
01:51That's the question.
01:53Are we truly independent?
01:55I mean, I hope and pray that truly our country will really be recognized as a sovereign country and independent.
02:03Even if we are not directly held by those who colonized us,
02:11like the Spaniards, the Japanese, and the Americans,
02:17but we can still feel their control,
02:21especially in our economy, defense, the West Philippine Sea, and others.
02:29That's why we, Filipinos, ought to study our history and fight for our true freedom.
02:39Audrey, visitors and officials are arriving here in Baraswain Church in Malolos, Bulacan.
02:48This is one of the main sites for Independence Day celebrations in the country.
02:53This is where the first Philippine Congress was convened.
02:57This means that they were the ones who created the first set of rules here in the country.
03:02That's why the government recognizes the important events here in Baraswain Church in Malolos, Bulacan.
03:09Audrey?
