Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana paid tribute to all frontliners who responded to the call of duty to protect the public from the deadly disease that has since claimed thousands of lives in the country.
“This Independence Day, as we once again salute our heroes, our noble fighters of old who secured for us the freedom and liberties that we enjoy today, we also honor the valor of our frontliners in the battle against COVID-19 – our doctors, nurses, and other health workers, our soldiers and reservists, our civil defense workers, and the many others who put their lives on the line to deliver the basic supplies and services that our households and communities direly need,” he added.
“No matter how much harm the pandemic is bringing to our nation, we shall fight together and defeat it in the end just like our forebears who fought until our freedom has been won,” he said. “We celebrate the freedom we have gained 122 years ago with our nation being tested by the global pandemic. We give our snappiest salute to the Filipinos who are with us in the struggle to overcome these trying times. This only shows that each of us is vital to our nation’s overall well-being, and is the primary contributor to national development,” Santos said.
