Liberate country from ills, people told

(UPDATE) AS the country celebrated the 161st birth anniversary of revolutionary hero Andres Bonifacio, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Saturday urged Filipinos to do their part in liberating the Philippines 'from the shackles of hunger, corruption, criminality and other ills of society.'

In his message, Marcos called on Filipinos to honor the life and heroism of Bonifacio, 'who organized and inspired his fellow Filipinos to rise against tyranny and break the chains of oppression.'
