MANILA, Philippines – House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano has urged Filipinos to pursue “true freedom” on his message for the 122nd celebration of the country’s Independence Day, even implying that revolting is just a phase. ADVERTISEMENT“When we are young, we think that being free means doing anything we want at anytime. However, true freedom, according to the House leader, is knowing that people are free yet are still bound to rules and limitations. We tell ourselves the rules are unjust (and yes, there are times and circumstances where rules are unjust) making ‘revolution’ an attractive, and even, romantic idea,” he claimed. One’s freedom is tied to the freedom of others.
