Duterte to Filipinos: Emulate Bonifacio’s patriotism

President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday urged Filipinos to emulate the courage and patriotism of revolutionary hero Andres Bonifacio amid the pandemic.

“If love of country which arouse our ancestors to fight for our freedom and secure our rightful place in the community of nations is very vital; now, more than ever, as we overcome the challenges of Covid-19 pandemic, as we remember his life and deeds, may the values he fought for inspire us all to become worthy heirs of a just, progressive and inclusive society that he envisioned more than a century ago,” Duterte said as he led the country’s observance of Bonifacio Day.
