THE RAISING OF THE PHILIPPINE FLAG ON 12TH JUNE 2009 AT THE EMBASSY COMPOUND IN KL COMMEMORATES THE 111TH YEAR OF PHILIPPINES INDEPENDENCE FROM THE COLONIAL POWER.
HIS EXCELLENCY, HON. AMBASSADOR VICTORIANO M LECAROS DELIVERING A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CELEBRATION ON 12TH JUNE 2009.
THE EMBASSY STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN MALAYSIA (FILCOM), WHO TOGETHER AS ONE, SPEARHEADED THE COMMEMORATION ACTIVITIES.

A Message to JOFA by H.E. Hon. Victoriano M Lecaros, Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia on the 111th Year Commemoration of the Philippines' Independence Day Declaration.
"Quote"
Today, the Filipino nation rightly takes pride in observing the 111th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence. In 1898, it was the first such act in Asia of a colonial people breaking free from their European masters of the previous 333 years. The Filipino revolutionaries proclaimed a republic, which would pursue freedom for and equality among its people.
Yet, at this present time when we already have our political freedoms, we can see that we still have some more work to do before we attain that ideal.
Yet, given the way that overseas Filipinos – exemplified by the JOFA – are engaged in the pursuit of better oportunities away from the home country, it is obvious that there is also a crying need for freedom from want – be it food, clothing, shelter, education.
They way that Filipinos in Malaysia go about earning their keep, there is no doubt that distant ideal will one day be within reach.
Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino sa Malaysia; Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!!
(Sgn) VICTORIANO M. LECAROS
Ambassador
