The fourth Monday of August is celebrated as our country’s national heroes day. President Rody Duterte is expected to lead the country on this memorable day. This year’s theme is “Bawat Pilipino, Bayaning Katuwang sa Pagbabago”. It is roughly translated as “Every Filipino, a Partner Hero for a Change”. Originally, it was on the 30th day of November. It falls on the birthday of Andres Bonifacio, another national Filipino hero. Bonifacio is the founder of the Katipunan. It is a group of courageous Filipino who fought against the Spaniards.
It was moved to the fourth day of August. This is the appropriate day for all the Filipino to honor those fallen men and women. Their heroism defended the freedom and liberty of the country against the invaders. It is observed as the national legal holiday. It will give every Filipino the time to give an appropriate homage to the heroes of the country.
Heroes are not only the fallen soldiers, men, and women. They are also the living heroes. They sacrificed their time, efforts in serving the country. They are the teachers in the attainment of quality education. They are also the honest government employees and the civilians. They maintain their integrity, honesty in helping their fellowmen. There are lots of men and women who give honor and a name to the country for their honesty.
The Philippines is proud of her people, of her dead and living heroes. She is still enjoying the freedom from fear, from oppression. She also free from the bondage of foreign and insurgent elements. She is proud to shout to the world, that she is free, free as the wind. Her freedom who had been lost for 20 years had been restored by the People’s Power. With the present government led by the vocal and courageous President Rody Duterte, the Philippines is in good hands. Her future is promising and bright.
Viva Filipinas! Love live the Philippines!

Certainly, President Elect Rodrigo Duterte i think is the best President to ever conquer the Philippines presidency. Not only of his great love for his country but to lead all of his people in the right path, goodness, and unity. Most especially on his drug campaign which is being sensational now a days not only here in the philippines but in every part of the world. We must fight with our might to stop and destroy drugs which leading our people in total ruin. For me, being a hero is something we should strive for, to give our best for the sake of other with the love we have for our country unselfishly, and to die, defending our nation's unity and peace.
As of this time, many Filipino would consider the Philippine President Rody Duterte as a hero. In his early governance, he was able to crack down the drugs issues in the country. Drugs have destroyed lots of the family. They have ruined the future of the youths. The all-out war imposed by President Duterte against drug lords, drug pushers and even users was supported by the Filipino people.
So far, there are more than a thousand drug-related killings had been recorded. And there will be more coming. Some sectoral groups claim that it's a human rights violations. Those who have been killed haven't given the chance to defend themselves. Their families, relatives shouted foul. They're looking for the justice.
Well, it couldn't be denied that the rating of the new president was very satisfactory. The people were comfortable for the governing style employed by the president. In today's celebration of National Heroes Day in the country the Philippines, President Duterte should be considered the new hero of the Philippines.
Without him, drug lords, drug pushers and the drug users haven't been cracked down and killed. Drugs according to the President is the number enemy of the society and it should be destroyed. It should be never given a chance to continue, to influence the youth, and every fiber of the society. It should be totally eradicated.
Mabuhay, the modern hero in the person of President Duterte.
Hero Day will be celebrated with full pomp and show in Philippine I think that National Heroes' Day is a national holiday of Philippines, celebrated to pay homage to the National Heroes of the country. Every year this day falls on the fourth Monday of August. Initially National Heroes' day was celebrated on 30th of November as it was the birthday of Andres Bonifacio, founder of the Katipunan.
These heroes are the men and women in Philippine history whose acts of courage enabled the Philippines to grow as a nation. Whilst National Heroes Day celebrates both known and unknown heroes, a National Heroes Committee was set up in 1995 to recommend those who should be counted as ‘National Heroes’. Following certain criteria, they found a select group of people who, they believed, should be honoured for their deeds. These were:
Jose Rizal
Andres Bonifacio
Emilio Aguinaldo
Apolinario Mabini
Marcelo H. del Pilar
Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat
Juan Luna
Melchora Aquino
Gabriela Silang
Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio were two of the main proponents against Spanish rule. As a result, both were given their own special days commemorating their lives and deeds.
