00:00It is a great pleasure for me to host this very important occasion with the members of the Diplomatic Corps.

00:07We celebrate one of the proud, and I'll call it an amendment, we celebrate the proudest moment of our storied past, the Philippine Independence.

00:18126 years on, since the Philippine flag was first unfurled in 1898, to let flutter in the fresh breeze of freedom,

00:29the flame of Philippine nationalism that sustained our ancestors and their quest for freedom remains lit in the beating heart of the Philippine nation to this very day.

00:41The globe is not lost to us. From a flickering flame into a firing blaze, this is how our patriotic sentiments can easily rouse whenever our collective and common interest as a nation is tested.

00:55On many occasions, great trials have all the more strengthened our resolve and unified our people, because as I have said, Filipinos do not yield.

01:06The struggle for Philippine independence continues to reverberate to this day, not against colonial oppression, but against modern-day challenges.

01:15We draw inspiration from the valor, resilience, and untiring spirit of our forefathers as we tackle these new challenges confronting our country.

01:25Today's reception is more than just a commemoration of the birth of the Philippine Republic, the first in Asia,

01:32but a strong affirmation of our century-old nation and of our collective duty as Filipinos to safeguard what our forefathers have fought and died for so that we may carry on our sacrosanct mandate to protect our country

01:49and to defend everything that is rightly ours from those who try to cross these lines.

01:56We must dig deep into our violent past, draw strength from the heroism of our forefathers, and let this heritage of selflessness propel us forward into the future.

02:08Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

02:11As I steer the economic rudder of the nation towards progress, I am guided by the newly-minted brand of governance that we have come to call Modern Filipinas,

02:23which roughly translates into New Philippines.

02:27It is a brand of governance that enjoys social and economic inclusivity and transformation, inspires hope and confidence in our people,

02:36and promises transformative change for the betterment of the Philippines.

02:41To bring this aspiration to fruition, my administration continues to institute policies and implement measures as laid out in our plans,

02:50aimed at galvanizing the economy amidst global economic difficulties.

02:55The recent launching of Modern Filipinas is opportune to chart a new beginning for the Philippines that transcends political color and social value.
