HObart 1400 DEPARTMENT O:F INFORM; ATION AND PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMONWEALTH OF THE PHILIPPINES · June 14, 1944 5'ARANAC LAKE, N.Y., June 14.0n United States ; Flag Day (today), which is the second anniversary of the signing of the -Declaration of United Nations by the Philippines, President Manuel L. Quezon issued the following ' statement, for broadcast to the Philippines: "My countrymen: On this day, wherever you may be, pause a moment in silent prayer-a prayer of thanksgiving and petition. "Today, June 14, is the day set aside by the I P'resident of the United States for the honoring not only of the flag ef America but the flags of all the United Nations who fight for liberty. Today, June 14, is also the second an;1iversary of my signing the Declara1.ion of United Nations on behalf of the Philippines. By that simple act, the Philippines joined herself with lhirty·four sovereign nations of the world in_ the fight against aggression. "In the midst of your sufferingsand I share them to the full-let us turn our thoughts today to our Flag of the Sun and Three Stars, the flag that our heroes followed in unnumbered battles for freedom. Let us renew· our pledge that our hopes for it will not be dimmed, nor our faith in it fettered, When THE PHILIPPINES becamie a member of the UNITED NATIONS on June 14, ·1942, Sitting from left t<J right: Ambassador Najera of the Republic of Mexico, President Roosevelt, President Qirezon, and Secretar-v of State Cordell HuU. (Courtesy of Mr. Serapio Canceran) JUNE, 1949 Page 323 nor our love for it weal:ened by the invader, but that each returning sun will make us more determined in o:ir resolve that, as in honor we inherited it from our fa lhers, in honor we must bequeath it to our sons. That honor is the badge that only free men can wear. "Two years ago today, our F'Jag was unfurled side by side with those of the other United Nations in the fight for liberty and democracy. I do not have to stress the transcendental significance of our having been admitted as signatory to the declaration of the nations fighting Germany and Japan, as an independent government. When I signed it for the 'Filipino people and sub~cribed to the principles set forth in the Atlantic Charter, I knew that I was expressing our nation's determination never to be cowed by the Japanese invader. Your courageous resist- r.nce has shown the world we Filipinos can suffer and die for the cause of freedom. "Let us give thanks for the friendship of America and o~ir other allies in our common struggle against the enemy, and for the victories of the armed forces of the United Nations, in Italy, in Russia, and in the Southwest Pa: <:ific. Let us be grateful that the forces of liberaUon are coming ever closer to our beloved shores. And today, let ~is humbly petition the Almighty for the continued success of our arms, and beseech Him to hasten the glorious day of liberation for all peoples all over the world. ---oOo-Municipal Officials . . _ (Continued from page 335) VALENCIA Mayor . ____ Eulalia Ucang (L) Vice-Mayor ____ Jacinto Sales (N) Councilors: 1 .
