Ngayong Araw ng mga Bayani, ating inaalala at binibigyang pagpupugay ang mga taong humuhubog sa ating kamalayan upang maging malaya ang kaisipan, damdamin, at diwa ng bawat Pilipino.

“Routine says that freedom of the press is dangerous. Let us see what History says: uprisings and revolutions have always occurred in countries tyrannized over, in countries where human thought and the human heart have been forced to remain silent.”
—Jose Rizal, “The Philippines a Century Hence” (Filipinas dentro de Cien Años), 1889-1890
