To our foreign guests, sa aking mga
kababayan — magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat, maayong hapon kaninyong tanan.

One of the most important lessons I
have learned as I navigate life and the same thing that I believe we should
ponder upon as one country united in our determination to overcome our
difficulties and achieve our aspirations — is that we should commit to heart
the priorities of God, country, and family.
My life is a testament to the power
of a God, whom we know by many names. My younger self was consumed by a dream
to become a doctor. I pursued a pathway that I thought could help me realize
that dream, but I was directed toward another way. And now I am a lawyer.
When I committed myself to governance
and public service, I was also determined to finish three consecutive terms as
Mayor. That will not happen anymore. I am now the Vice President-Elect.
The voice of 32.2 million Filipinos
was loud and clear — with the message to serve our motherland. And this message
has been reiterated in my oath: to consecrate myself to the service of the
nation.
There is a God. A God whose will
transcends the desires of our hearts, one whose will directs us to the way that
we might not have imagined — but a way that consecrates ourselves every day to
help our fellowmen overcome the difficulties they face in their lives, to
change lives, to save lives.
If we all take a moment to listen to
the call to serve and decide to heed the call — in the same way that many are
already devoting their lives as hardworking farmers and fisherfolk that ensure
there is food on our tables, dedicated health workers who help the sick, brave
soldiers who fight for our country, honest and fair entrepreneurs who support
our economy, patient school teachers that guide our children — I believe the
country will be heading toward a future of hope, security, strength, stability,
and progress.
Country
Today, we celebrate the life and
works of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. May his memory light up the fire
within us to become patriots. Rizal taught us that selflessness and sacrifice
could change our country's fate and shape our children's future. The bravery of
Rizal completes the fabric of our identity as Filipinos.
Magkasama sana tayong bumangon bawat
araw kasabay ang nag-aalab na pangako sa ating mga puso na mahal natin at
patuloy nating mamahalin ang Pilipinas hangga’t tayo ay nabubuhay.
Let us show our love for our country
by taking care of our families and communities despite the unending challenges
that come our way.
Family
Today is Father’s Day. This is a time
for families to celebrate — but you are here with me. Daghang salamat sa inyong
pagtambong ug pagkuyog kanako niining adlawa.
Happy Father’s day to all the fathers
who make sure that another person is given the best of everything.
Today, our children are facing a very
complex future, one that is rife with conflict and uncertainties. Some of these
challenges include the winding cycle of poverty, the trauma of broken families,
the life-long baggage because of irresponsible and bad parenting, the
abandonment issues due to an absentee parent, the anguish of gender confusion
and discrimination, the destruction brought about by drugs, the lure of easy
money in criminality, cases of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the
failure to identify and speak up against different kinds of abuses, the life
altering effects of teenage pregnancy, the detrimental effects of illiteracy,
the emotional injury of bullying, unstable mental wellness, recruitment to
support terrorism, misinformation in the internet — and the list could be
endless.
A strong, loving, happy family sets
down all the basic foundations essential in the development and growth of a
child.
At home, parents have the duty to
teach children the values of integrity, discipline, respect, and compassion for
others.
And we should never forget that it is
the duty of each Filipino family to emphasize that education begins at home.
Atong isilsil sa ilang alimpatakan nga ang maayong pamatasan, ang edukasyon, ug
pagpaningkamot maoy magdala kanila palayo sa kinabuhi nga puno og kalisod,
padulong sa maayong kinabuhi nga ilang gihandom.
We should not as we could not afford
to squander the future of our children.
The days ahead of us may be full of
challenges that call for us to be more united as a nation.
But let me reiterate this — we can
never go wrong if we are a people dedicated to honoring the will of God, to
serving our country and our fellowmen, and protecting the integrity of our
families and the future of our children.
Ako po si Inday Sara. A proud
Dabawenya. A proud Mindanawon. Hindi ako ang pinakamagaling, o pinakamatalinong
tao sa Pilipinas at sa mundo — ngunit walang makakatalo sa tibay ng puso ko
bilang isang Filipino.
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
Daghang Salamat.
