Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo emphasized in his Independence Day speech that the fight for freedom now extends beyond foreign threats to include internal challenges like corruption, apathy, and abuse.
He urged public servants to recognize the need for ongoing reforms to build a more just society.
Gesmundo highlighted that true independence requires accountability and continued dedication to the welfare of the people.
He called on Filipinos to follow the example of national heroes by actively addressing domestic issues and helping those in need.
Ending his message, he reminded everyone that freedom is a daily responsibility, not a reward, and encouraged teaching future generations about patriotism and perseverance.
