We are proud to be Filipino and have a hero like Andres Bonifacio, who fought for, encouraged, and supported his ideals, fellowmen, and country. 

As he did, may we love our country more and complain about Filipino behavior and our local situation less. Act as we must to support and improve matters instead - in however way we can.

Mabuhay, Pilipinas!
