We Can be Heroes
National Heroes Day 2024
The Filipino Katoliko Church joins the entire Philippines echoing the spirit of national pride as we celebrate National Heroes Day.
The Cry of Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, was more than a symbolic gesture but a decision offering the lives of the common Filipinos to claim freedom from the colonizers.
It is also important to remember and celebrate the lives of the Three Martyred Priests (Padre Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora) on this significant occasion whose ideals awakened and ignited the cry for sovereignty and independence, and inspired many heroes and heroines in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rulers.
Today, let us honor our daily heroes offering sacrifices for all in need of physical, emotional, and spiritual love and care.
We can be heroes for the betterment of our nation, our people, our community, the environment, and the world.
