National Heroes Day 2025: Reigniting heroism among youth
Manila Bulletin
|August 25, 2025
Today, Aug. 25, 2025, we again pause to honor National Heroes Day, a solemn reminder of the sacrifices and ideals that forged our nation.
-
Observed every last Monday of August and rooted in the Cry of Pugad Lawin that sparked the 1896 revolution, this day invites Filipinos to reflect on both the storied past and the urgent calls of the present.
This year's celebration falls within NHCP's History Month, themed Isang Diwa, Isang Lahi, Isang Bayanihan. The focus is clear: to ignite a living connection to our heroes and imbibe the ideals of courage, compassion, and commitment to the nation.
Our pantheon of heroes, including Rizal, Bonifacio, Gomburza, Tandang Sora, Gabriela Silang, among others, provides enduring inspiration. Gomburza's martyrdom galvanized Rizal toward radical awakening; Bonifacio's leadership defined revolutionary zeal; Tandang Sora's humble bravery symbolized grassroots resistance; Gabriela Silang exemplified defiance and female leadership in revolutionary struggles. These heroes embody diverse paths toward a shared goal-a free, just, sovereign Philippines.
