My message on its 112th Independence Day:

On June 12,1898,the Philippines gained its independence from Spain and the Philippine flag is formally unfurled.
112 taon nang lumpipas nang ipinahayag ang Kasarinlan ng Pilipinas.
24 na taong maibalik ang demokrasya pagkatapos ang EDSA People Power Revolution.
Ngayong araw na ito.Ang Pilipinas ay nakikiisa sa paggunita ng ating ika-112 taon ng Kalayaan.Mula noon,ang kasaysayan at kultura ng ating ninuno ay lingid sa kaalaman”Ang kayamanan ng bawat Pilipino ay isang tapat at totoong likas at malikhain ng serbisyong inisyatibo para sa lahat”.
Nararapat po namin ang mga mamamayan at ang pamilyang Pilipino na magkakaroon ng murang pabahay at libreng edukasyon para sa mga mahihirap at iba’t iba pa.
Gaya ng kanyang pangako na naaayon sa Buhayin Natin Initiative program.4 na buwan na nakalipas.ang INTELIHENTE AT TALENTADO ay isa sa mga legacy agenda ng kanyang initiative advocacy upang maipanalo ang mga bagong personalidad mula sa mga reality at talent search programs sa telebisyon.Wagi ang mga kampeon sa Philippine team.lalo na ang mga Pinoy na naguwi ang mga parangal mula sa ibang bansa.
Ngunit ang araw ng bayan ay masasaksihan natin na itataas ko ang ating kamay at isasabay –sabay po natin ang tunay na inisyatibo.
Kasama ng sambayanang Pilipino.
Kapanalig na walang kompromiso.
Kabalikat na walang pinipiling bayan
Kaakbay na walang pinaboran ang nag-iisang Bayan ni Kuya.
Pinoy.Ikaw ang ating bida.
Ito ang aking misyon.

Ako si Leoan.
Nangangako sa inyo ng isang tapat at totoong serbisyong inisyatibong Buhayin Natin ang Pilipinas.Buhayin Natin ang Pagbabago.Wala nang iba.
kundi ang maghahari sa trono ng sambayanang Pilipino.
Kilos na,Bayan.
kundi may magagawa tayo
Panalo ka ng bayan ay ang tagumpay ka ng bayan.
Saludo ko sa’yo!

Maraming salamat po at
Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa inyong lahat.

Independence Day celebrations to highlight respect for flag, Arroyo achievements

Philippine Independence Day celebrations this year will involve ceremonies highlighting respect and veneration for the country’s flag and enumerating achievements of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s nine-year term, an official familiar with the preparations said.

The country’s 112th Independence Day will carry the theme "Kalayaan, Tagumpay ng Bayan" (Freedom, Victory for the People), will be launched with the observance of the "Araw ng Watawat" (National Flag Day), which will start on May 28, National Historical Commission Inc. Executive Director Ludovico Badoy said.

On that day, Education Secretary Mona Valisno is expected to attend a flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony at the Battle of Alapan site in Imus in Cavite.

This site is where the first Philippine flag was hoisted by then General Emilio Aguinaldo 112 years ago after the country’s scored its first victory against the Spaniards.

Starting May 28, the national flag will also be raised and hoisted in different buildings, government offices, schools, establishments, and even homes.

The National Historical Commission has already began distributing Philippine flags in different areas, Badoy said.

"We appeal to you to wear and show our national colors proudly, display the flag at our offices, at homes and at every opportune time," Executive Secretary Leandro Mendoza said on Wednesday.

On June 12, Independence Day, a simultaneous flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony will take place at 7 a.m. It will be led by President Arroyo at the Luneta Park who will be assisted by local government officials.

An 11-float civic-military parade is also being prepared for the afternoon of June 12, which in turn will feature President Arroyo’s achievements.

The event will also recognize the contributions of Filipino icons such as boxer Manny Pacquiao, educator Efren PeƱaflorida, and world billiards champion Efren "Bata" Reyes.

These globally-recognized Filipinos are expected to ride on the last motorized float, which is called "Inang Bayan." They have already been invited and plans are underway to bestow special recognition to these Filipino achieves, he said.

Some P10 million has been allotted for the Independence Day celebrations, Badoy said.

He added that Arroyo is expected to make her “last report to the nation" about what has happened in the last nine years since she assumed the presidency on Jan. 20, 2001.

The President would also host the annual Independence Day Vin d' Honneur event with the diplomatic community in MalacaƱang over lunch.
