Leading the Philippines’ commemoration of its 125th Independence Day, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ensured to address the “un-freedoms” in the society, including poverty and inequality. advertisement

Marcos said this during the Independence Day ceremony held at the Quirino Grandstand on Monday.

He admitted that at present, there are still “manifold un-freedoms prevailing in the society that stand in the way of human development.”

“These are the corrosive political and social conditions that make the nation not as free as we would like to profess and to believe, such as poverty, inadequate economic opportunities, disabling rather than enabling living conditions, inequality and apathy,” Marcos said in his speech.

“We will strive to remove the un-freedoms, we will aim to feed the hungry, free the bound, and banish the poverty,” he added.
