Sen. Loren Legarda
MANILA, Philippines — On the 128th Philippine Independence Day, Sen. Loren Legarda said freedom is proven in how we govern, what we protect, and whose interests we serve, as the Senator linked the spirit of “Kalayaan Kinabukasan Kasaysayan.” to the work of the Senate, cultural heritage, and the environment.
“This year’s theme, ‘Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.’, reminds us that freedom is a duty we must live every day,” Legarda said. “Our Constitution enshrines that all power comes from the people. The Senate exists because of that mandate. When we debate, investigate, and legislate with courage and integrity, we respect the people who placed us in this position and the heroes who fought for this Republic.”
She noted that the Senate, as a co equal branch of government, should be one of the primary guardians of this constitutional promise of freedom.
