Something tragic has befallen us Filipinos.The tragedy is our
national amnesia about our heroes, the values they sacrificed for,
and their vision of a happy, well-educated and prosperous Filipino
people.
Of today’s celebration of National Heroes’
Day some commentators have lamented the present generation’s lack
of knowledge of and appreciaAtion for the heroes of our race. The
Filipino youth today, they say, don’t care about the history of
our country and the deeds of the heroes whose writings, sacrifices
and death made us an independent Republic.
