On June 12, 1898, the flag was waved and the anthem was played officially for the first time to mark the birth of the Filipino nation. Today, the flag is still unfurled and the anthem is still sung, which only proves that they are the genuine living legacies of the Philippine Revolution.
Rizal’s call on the youth to become the fair hope of the motherland is still applicable today. Millions of today’s young people in all nations have the ability to build better generations and better civilizations.

Hi Mr. Royeca,
I love reading your patriotic writings.
I would just like to ask for your permission to share this to the members of KAPIMA or Kabataang/Kapisanang Pilipinong Makabayan, a nationalist political movement I founded. This coming 2010 elections, KAPIMA will be the youth arm of the senatorial candidacy of my good friend – General Danny Lim, the foremost military nationalist of our time.
Maraming salamat at mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
