00:09occasion of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day. Please stand by for a
00:16moment of silence followed by the national anthem of the Republic of
00:22the Philippines on stage. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, thank you for joining
00:40the bus on this day of commemoration. Today we gather to respectfully remember and honor
00:48our heroes who fell as martyrs for the sake of our homeland on the 9th of July 15, 2016
00:58and to share the pride of the glorious victory achieved as a result of this struggle.
01:05Ten years ago on that night, 30 years faced a new generation of terrorism and experienced
01:12one of the darkest nights in the history of our Republic due to the coup d'etat attempt
01:18organized by a religious cult led by Fethullah Gülen and his followers.
01:26As a result of this heinous attempt, 251 of our citizens became martyrs and Fethullah's infiltration
01:35into critical sectors of our society, including the military and the judiciary, demonstrated
01:42their willingness to betray the trust of our people and support the rule of law for their
01:49own gain. However, in the face of this betrayal, our nation stood united. Ordinary citizens, motivated
01:59by a deep commitment to democracy and national unity, courageously took to the streets to defend
02:06our freedoms against any existential threat. Their bravery and sacrifice are a testament to
02:13the resilience of our democratic institutions and the indomitable spirit of our people.
