00:00Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:03Madayaw, Mayo Adlaw, kaninyong tanan.
00:06Magandang araw sa inyong lahat.
00:08Today, the Philippines joins the global community
00:11in observance of the International Day of Remembrance
00:14and tribute to the victims of terrorism.
00:18Our nation knows the true cost of terror.
00:22We speak about terrorism from the ground of its actual impact,
00:25from the communities long affected by local insurgencies and violent extremisms
00:31across our islands to the urban centers and rural villages in Mindanao
00:37that have borne the brunt of bombings, extortion, and senseless violence.
00:43Hindi lamang pansamantalang pinsala ang dulot ng terorismo.
00:47Sinisira nito ang takbo ng buhay ng susunod na henerasyon.
00:51Para sa maraming pamilyang Pilipino,
00:53ang banta ng karahasan ay hindi kwento ng nakaraan,
00:57kundi isang realidad.
01:00Hindi natin pwedeng iasa na lamang sa kanila
01:02ang muling pagtatayo ng kinabukasan
01:05mula sa mga naiwang guho ng kaguluhan.
01:08We cannot build a culture of remembrance on monuments and moments of silence alone.
01:15True remembrance demands concrete action,
01:19an active commitment to justice,
01:22policy enforcement,
01:23and comprehensive rehabilitation.
01:25A state that honors its victims must take absolute responsibility for securing its borders
01:32and rebuilding what was destroyed.
01:36We owe it to every displaced family and every disputed community.
01:41Ang pagtiyak sa kaligtasan ng ating mga komunidad,
01:44pagtatanggol sa kapakanan ng ating mga kabataan,
01:47at pagbibigay ng sapat na suporta upang makabangon ang bawat biktima.
01:52Ito ang tanging paraan ng pag-alala na may tunay na kahulugan.
01:57Mga kababayan,
01:59mahalin natin ang Pilipinas.
02:01Ibalik natin ang tapang at malasakit.
02:04Ang lahat ng ating ginagawa
02:06ay para sa Diyos,
02:07sa bayan,
02:08at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.
02:10Shukran.
02:22Shukran.
