To the one Majority: A Nation Distinct -

OUR NATION, my dear friends, is a nation distinct from all of the other nations of the one family of the nations of Mankind.

Therefore, were we to love this one Filipino nation as a whole, embracing past, present and future, we must break free of those old ways of thinking that we, as an endeavor of Country, is an imitation of anything other than our own timeless vision of our selves as an ascended nation, an Eternal Philippines.

It is easy to fall into those old ways of thinking. To compare this, our one nation and its responsible state to other nation-states, whole in themselves, and to become bitter finding from none of them, the image of ourselves as we are meant to be in time and across time.

My dear friends, all of you whose hearts identify with the aspirations of the one Majority, it is time to get firmly acquainted with ourselves as a nation, one, whole and distinct from all of the other nations of the one family of the nations of Mankind.

It is time to complete our remembrances and bring our hopes forward and into the momentum of future things. And this is the season to do it, my dear Filipino compatriots, upon this inhabited earth and under heaven, now is the time for the building up of our one Republic, strong for being faithful to the vision of itself, defiant against war, and worthy of its calling to serve under the eternal vigilance of Almighty God as a guardian forever to our orphaned people.

This Republic will work if we learn to know it and to know it, we must learn to accept who we are and the vision of who we must become, together in the course of our hope, unfolding in time, united in God and Country, across our generations unto the Last Day.

Let us be mindful that we are a democracy and in a democracy, nobody loses out in an election - IF those elections were held with honesty and integrity.

Everybody here is on the same boat - an ark of Country - and were this Republic to disintegrate to a point of dissolution, it would most certainly be to the eternal regret of all.

My friends, it is vital that we work together as a nation, a human nation, O my beloved Filipinos. I, for one, believe in this work, our work, this, our one undertaking of Country, our one Republic of the Philippines.

So get yourselves registered to vote, all of you whose hearts believe with the same conviction as I believe and let us retake this, our one vital undertaking of Country - together, in friendship and in community with each other - from the waning of the darkness of the past and bring it all back again into the light of our present remembrance, of ourselves as a nation and of our noble endeavor of Country, under the eternal vigilance of the one Almighty, on behalf of those generations of Filipinos to come.
