PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led Sunday the Bagong Pilipinas kick-off Rally at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila as he calls for unity to build a progressive nation, strong economy and secured future for Filipinos.
Speaking during the event, President Marcos said the country faces a complex and changing world, which calls for a united response to build a strong nation and economy sound.
“We cannot meet these challenges if no common purpose energizes us. We need to have a vision that moves us forward as a people united. A vision so compelling that it brings out the best in us. One that is feasible that every one of us will invest in,” Marcos told the crowd during Sunday’s event.
“We must restore faith in ourselves by taking stock of what makes us a strong people, a resilient nation. We must dig deep into our valiant past, draw strength from the heroism of our forefathers, and let this heritage of selflessness propel us forward into the future,” he said.
The Bagong Pilipinas Campaign is the overarching theme of the Marcos administration’s brand of governance and leadership, characterized by a principled, accountable, and dependable government reinforced by unified institutions of society.
It encourages every Filipino to see beyond differences and work harmoniously to build a nation that shapes a more promising future for its citizens.
Around 400,000 people attended the event, including members of the Cabinet, lawmakers, local government officials, and the general public.
