Happy 114th

Independence Day

Celebration

MESSAGE

I t is my honor to greet my fellow Filipinos as we celebrate the 114th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence.

Once again, the Filipino people are writing a significant chapter in our history. Like all turning points in this narrative, this chapter is an outcome of collective will, manifested by our desire to fulfill our country’s great potential, as exhibited by the ability, creativity, and fortitude of the Filipino. Our patriots embodied these qualities in all of their undertakings, particularly in their greatest enterprise – the formation of this Republic. Today we also take inspiration from our countrymen who demonstrate passion, excellence, and integrity in their chosen fields, thereby carrying on this legacy of solidarity and nationhood from our forefathers. As we celebrate our Independence, let it be our duty to reaffirm the values that have shaped and strengthened our nation, and to forge ahead in fulfillment of the destiny envisioned by our heroes.

Let us uphold the spirit of hope and confidence that complements the momentum of change in our time. May we also remain proud of our heritage and diversity, the foundations that distinguish our beloved Philippines. Inspired by the past we now commemorate, we move forward to establish a future that accords with our rightful place in the community of nations.

Council of Filipino Associations in Austria

M E S S AG E

A s we pause to celebrate our nation's 114th Anniversary of the

Proclamation of our Independence, please take time to re-

member that most Filipinos who celebrated our nation's maiden

Independence Day in 1898 are no longer among us. We honor

their memory and legacy by showing our love for our family and

friends, our respect for each other, and reaffirming our oneness as

a people.

We owe it to our founding fathers and mothers, and to all Filipi-nos, to avow that wherever flags are flying, no one is more deter-

mined than us in ensuring that the Philippine flag flutters high above those of many na-tions. The theme of this year’s Independence Day celebration , “Kalayaan- Pananagutan ng Bayan Para sa Tuwid na Daan “, inspires us in nation building and focuses on President Aquino’s vision of a nation of sovereign people , highlighting the accountability and re-sponsibility of Filipino citizens as embodied in the Constitution that carries immense weight as a significant part of Philippine history. Admittedly, the way to the straight and narrow entails much of a sacrifice but as one, we will surely succeed as a great nation our forefathers envisioned us to be. I greet all my “kababayans” with love and respect , and send my best wishes for a joyous Independence Day and Barrio Fiesta celebration. Maraming Salamat at Mabuhay Tayong Lahat !!

On 25 June, Vienna PE/PM hosted the Opening of “Impressions: An Art Exhibition of Paintings” by Manuel D. Baldemor at the lobby of the Vienna International Center (VIC), home of the United Nations Offices in Vienna. Manuel Baldemor’s “IMPRESSIONS” is a revisit of his mural at the VIC Rotunda entitled “Pasasalamat” depicting the cultural and religious traditions of the Filipinos. The mural is one of the few international artworks in the entrance hall of the VIC and was unveiled by former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos in 1999. The event was also attended by the members of the Diplomatic Corps, representatives of the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Vienna, academics, businessmen and leaders of the Filipino community in Austria. The 39 art pieces are on display until 29 June 2012.

“Tinikling” is considered the national folkdance with a pair or pairs of danc-

ers hopping between two bamboo poles held just above the ground and

struck together in time to music.

The “Kuratsa” commands a sense of improvisation which mimics a young

Rigodon de Honor” is an elegant stately dance that was brought to the Phil-

Spanish era. It is so called because it is usually performed to open a state

social function like the President’s inaugural ball, participated by high gov-

ernment officials, member and diplomatic corps and friends in the society.
