in celebration of the 111th Philippine Independence Day
and the 50th Anniversary of Legazpi City, Albay
Officials of Legazpi City led by the dynamic and indefatigable Mayor Noel Rosal, the lovely and industrious people of your town, dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant morning to all of you.
It is an honor and a privilege to join you and be with you as the whole nation commemorates the 111th Independence Day of our beloved country. This significant occasion is made even more meaningful because today is also the 50th anniversary of Legazpi as a chartered city. These two important milestones bring us together, bound by our history as Filipino people and by our common goal of helping this country become a great nation once again.
I have always looked forward to visiting Legazpi City, not only because of its natural beauty and abundance of sumptuous fest and delicacies that the Bicol region is known for but, more importantly, because of the warmth and hospitality of the people of your city and the neighboring municipalities as well. Under the leadership of your local officials, I am aware that Legazpi city has achieved considerable socio-economic progress in the last few months.
The city of Legazpi used to be associated with only Mount Mayon. Known for its perfect shape, this volcano has erupted more than 40 times in the last 400 years. While thousands of lives and properties where destroyed each time Mount Mayon emitted thick smoke and lava, such destruction has, on the other hand, paved the way for reforms to take place in the community life as well as the personal lives of the people therein. Needless to say, the history of Legazpi City is replete with struggles for independence and liberation from foreign powers.
[1]But through sheer hard work and the people’s indomitable spirit which the people of Legazpi are known for, Legazpi City has always managed to rise above each and every tragedy, and has now even emerged as a pro-active partner in the campaign for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
Today, as we commemorate our nation’s 111th independence day, may our hearts be filled with gratitude and appreciation for the immense sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who valiantly fought for our nation’s freedom and liberty. Let this be a time to remember our nation’s heroes and be inspired by their valor and strength of character as we all move to propel our nation to greater political and economic heights.
Having been in the government service for more than forty years, and now approaching the sunset years of my life, I must tell you that I have always been awed by our people’s strong resolve to zealously protect our freedom – a legacy of our nation’s founding fathers.
Today, I am very proud that we remain relentless in the pursuit of democratic ideals and values, even if intermittent political storms threaten the independence of our democratic institutions.
It is my profound wish that each Filipino will not take for granted the freedom and independence we are enjoying right now. We must continue to honor our nation’s heroes by not forgetting the immense sacrifice they made so that this generation and the generations yet unborn can live freely in this country we call our own.
Thank you very much. May God bless our nation and the Filipino people.

Independence Day Speech - Maramag, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines
Luis Zuriel P Domingo
In this essay, I talk about the "history" of changing the day of Philippine independence from 04 July to 12 June. I discussed how postcolonial anti-Americanism, Macapagal's crabbiness towards Washington, and the Philippine Historical Association had interwoven involvement in such a historical event in our recognition of freedom and independence every 12 June. I cited some interesting points from Joseph Scalice, Leloy Claudio, and Rey Ileto. I wrote this essay as a reflection last 12 June after witnessing online the ceremonial flag-raising and wreath-laying at Luneta Park, led for the first time by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and the less celebrated Republic Day every 04 July.

The essence of celebrating our country’s independence from political control cannot be reflected in parades, fairs, or even speeches. Gaining liberty necessitates for a continuous struggle of taking heed the lessons of the past. We will be free if we surpass the common problem of poverty. We will be free if we hurdle the usual political exploitation that we experience from abusive elements in society. We will be free if we are empowered to stand by our rights. We will be free if we know how to respect the rights of our fellowmen. And we will be free if we are able to change and reform our government for the better.

This section consists of lesson materials for students related to the Philippines and its role in American History. This information about Philippine independence and how it links the Philippines and the United States is intended for students in middle school, chiefly eighth grade, and are aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. This project helps to fill gaps in American History and its connection to the Philippines. Additionally, adding depth and cultural awareness to existing American History curriculum provides a clearer, more balanced, and deeper understanding of history topics and how our nation’s past and present are intertwined with other nations.

We are met here, today, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of our nation's independence, to celebrate our freedom from the clutches of British imperialism, to celebrate the final achievement of the struggle of successive generations of Ghanaian patriots to establish a free, sovereign Ghana. We are grateful that, on such a happy day, leaders and representatives of our neighbouring countries and friendly nations have, in acts of warm solidarity, joined us in our celebration. Akwaaba, Your Excellencies, to each one of you. I thank the children from across the country for their excellent march. I thank the cultural troupes from across the country on their magnificent display, which has showcased the best of Ghanaian culture. I thank the officers and the men and women of the Ghana Armed forces, the police service and the other security services for their display of order, pomp and ceremony. And I thank them all for their willingness to put their lives on the line to secure the safety of our nation, the peace of our society, and the sanctity of our property. I am happy to announce that, on my way to these grounds, Independence Square, I stopped to perform a very important duty. I have, this morning, cut the sod for the commencement of the building of a national cathedral of interdenominational worship in our capital, Accra. This project, I am glad to say, is supported by many of our leading figures of faith. It is meant to be a gesture of thanksgiving to the Almighty for the blessings he has showered and continues to shower on our nation. Today is a celebration of our independence. Being independent means you have the freedom and ability to make informed decisions in life without having to ask other people for permission, help or money and you take full responsibility for seeing things through. Our founders chose this day, March 6, as the date of our independence, in order to repudiate the Bond of 6th March 1844, which led to our land becoming a British colony.

As PM Modi delivers his eleventh Independence Day address on August 15, 2024 from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort, here’s a look at the recurring themes and key messages from his speeches since 2014 read more
Since taking office in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has used his Independence Day addresses to outline his vision for India and address key national issues.
As he delivers his eleventh address on August 15, 2024 on the 78th Independence Day of India from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort, we look back at the recurring themes and key messages from his speeches over the years.
2014: Embracing Inclusivity & Collaboration
In his inaugural Independence Day speech in 2014, PM Modi positioned himself as an outsider to the political elite of Delhi. He stressed on the importance of inclusivity and collaboration.
“I am an outsider to Delhi… I have been quite isolated from the elite class of this place, but during the last two months… I had an insider view, and I was astonished,” Modi stated.
He invoked the Vedic phrase Sangachhadhwam—“We walk together, we move together, we think together, we resolve together and together we take this country forward”—to underline his commitment to a collaborative approach.
PM Modi praised the role of the Opposition in the functioning of Parliament and acknowledged their contribution to important decisions, saying, “The credit for this goes to the Opposition also… From the ramparts of Red Fort, quite proudly I salute all the Members of Parliament, I also salute all the political parties.”
2015: A Focus on Fighting Corruption
In 2015, PM Modi turned his attention to combating corruption. He highlighted the increase in corruption cases filed by the CBI as evidence of his administration’s commitment to the cause.
“I want to tell Team India comprising 1.25 billion people, that this country can become corruption-free,” PM Modi declared.
He compared the number of cases registered before and after his government’s formation, emphasising the actions taken against corrupt practices.
2016: Addressing Terrorism and Welfare
The 2016 speech covered a broad spectrum of issues, including terrorism, Maoism, and welfare initiatives. PM Modi also announced a new healthcare scheme benefiting BPL (Below Poverty Line) families.
He extended a gesture of solidarity to people in Balochistan, Gilgit, and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, stating, “I want to heartily thank the people of Balochistan, the people of Gilgit, the people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir… It is the respect of my 125 crore countrymen.”
2017: Promoting Unity with ‘Bharat Jodo’
On the 75th anniversary of the Quit India movement, PM Modi shifted focus to national unity. He spoke on the need for unity with the slogan “Bharat Jodo” (unite India).
“Violence in the name of aastha (faith) is not something to be happy about, it will not be accepted in India,” PM Modi asserted, denouncing violence and promoting a vision of a united and peaceful India.
2018: Reporting Achievements
The 2018 address was a report card on the government’s achievements. PM Modi highlighted successes in sanitation, electrification, and the implementation of goods and services tax (GST), as well as the constitutional status given to the OBC Commission.
2019: Ideological Milestones
Returning with a larger mandate in 2019, PM Modi used his speech to outline his government’s ideological achievements, such as the abrogation of Article 370 and the ban on Triple Talaq.
“What was the reason behind revocation of Article 370 and 35A? This is the hallmark of this government,” PM Modi explained. He also detailed the Jal Jeevan Mission, aiming to provide tap water to all rural households by 2024.
2020: Embracing Self-Reliance Amidst Covid-19
In 2020, PM Modi addressed the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and called for a self-reliant India.
“In the midst of the Corona pandemic, 130 crore Indians pledged themselves to become self-reliant,” he said, framing the drive towards self-reliance as a collective national effort.
2021: Vision for 2047
PM Modi’s 2021 speech focused on setting goals for the nation’s future by 2047. He spoke about the importance of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and now Sabka Prayas” (Everyone’s Support, Everyone’s Development, Everyone’s Trust, and now Everyone’s Effort) for achieving national goals.
He outlined targets for welfare schemes, including universal access to roads, bank accounts, Ayushman Bharat cards, and gas connections.
2022: The “Panch Pran” and National Resolve
In 2022, Prime Minister Modi introduced the “Panch Pran” (Five Resolutions) for the coming 25 years. These resolutions include striving for a developed India by advancing major national goals, eliminating the mentality of servitude with the commitment to “ Ghulami ki manasikta, hamein use tilaanjali deni padegi ” (getting rid of the mentality of servitude), celebrating India’s rich heritage, fostering unity and solidarity across the nation, and instilling a strong sense of responsibility among citizens.
2023: Realising India’s Potential
In his 10th Independence Day address on August 15, PM Modi spoke for nearly 90 minutes, detailing both his government’s achievements and the challenges and opportunities facing the nation.
Addressing the country on its 77th Independence Day, PM Modi spoke about the importance of seizing the moment to realise India’s potential, noting that the decisions and sacrifices made now will influence the country for the next 1,000 years.
PM Modi described India as being at a critical juncture, poised to shape the emerging new world order in the wake of the COVID pandemic. He promised a “New India” with a promising future over the next five years.

Shiv Sena (UBT), through its mouthpiece Saamana, criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day 2024 speech from the Red Fort, calling it "boring", reported news agency ANI.

The editorial further stated that he gave a speech that should have been given in an election campaign.
" Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people associated with him were never serious about the country's Independence. That is why his speech from the Red Fort on Independence Day 2024 was boring. He gave a speech that should have been given in an election campaign rally," stated Shiv Sena (UBT) through its mouthpiece Saamana, reported ANI.
"PM said that earlier the enemies were entering our country and killing us. This is an insult to our army and security forces. PM Modi should have mentioned the Kargil war and the war that followed," Saamana stated, reported ANI.
Hailing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the editorial stated, " Indira Gandhi marched in tanks in Amritsar without caring about the Khalistani militants and ultimately sacrificed herself for the country," reported ANI.
Criticising PM Modi for not mentioning a word about the Manipur crisis, the editorial added, "Violence has been raging in Manipur for three years and Modi has not even pronounced the 'M' of Manipur."
The editorial further called Narendra Modi's coming into power for the third time a "coincidence or accident". Adding to that it highlighted, "Before Modi came, the country made a lot of progress in the fields of industry, science, trade, and agriculture. Nehru built institutions like IITs without getting into the temple-mosque dispute."
"PM Modi and his devotees have the reins of an advanced and developed country in their hands, but what new have they done in the last ten years apart from giving us a leaking Ram temple in Ayodhya and the Parliament that leaked 'vigorously'? The work of breaking the Indian Constitution, putting pressure on the courts and central agencies and strangling democracy and opposition parties has been done under him. The country had to see such a time and for how long will it have to see it? A Prime Minister's speech should not be like this. What else can be expected from those who have no connection with the freedom struggle?", the editorial Saamana further said, reported ANI.
