"Our triumph in this new battle is hinged on whether or not we can display the same bravery our heroes displayed back then. To all of our people: the strength of this country is in our hands." --70th Anniversary of the Valor in Corregidor 6 May 2012, Corregidor Island, Cavite. "It is only fitting for us to remember another kind of courage. This is the courage of our leaders: those who did not falter from the weight of the decisions they had to make decisions that ended up molding the destiny of their fellow Filipinos." --70th Anniversary of the Araw ng Kagitingon 9 April 2012, Mt. Samat, Pilar, Bataan. ""Our generation has a lot to learn from our veterans. We would do well to emulate the spirit of service that they exhibited, especially now that we are facing new foes: corruption and poverty."" --9th Anniversary of the Araw ng Kagitingan 9 April 2011, Mt. Samat, Pilar, Bataan ""Our country is truly a cradle of heroes. Their lives have been recorded in the pages of books, monuments have been built to attest to their deeds..."" ""Thank you to our veterans who are the allies of our government as it marches on the straight and righteous path. You remain exemplars of valor and steadfast service to the nation. Rest assured that you are not alone; your government is here to assist you. The Philippine Veterans Affairs Office, or the PVAO, is at the forefront of our efforts to streamline the system that awards the pensions and other benefits due you. We have, likewise, improved health services for our veterans, by granting accreditation to nearly three hundred hospitals that will attend to your needs. Our government strives to realize the programs that will, however humbly, thank and repay you for your service to the nation." --National Heroes Day 29 August 2011
