Today, we honor the extraordinary life, courage, and enduring legacy of Bishop Gregorio Aglipay, a true patriot, revolutionary leader, and the first Supreme Bishop (Obispo Maximo) of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (Philippine Independent Church).
Beyond his role as a religious leader, Aglipay was a champion of national independence who stood firmly alongside the Filipino people during pivotal moments in our nation's history. His commitment to fighting for spiritual freedom and social justice broke barriers and helped forge a distinct identity for the Filipino faith community.
As we commemorate Aglipay Day, let us reflect on his unwavering love for the country, his fierce pursuit of justice, and his belief in self-determination. May his courageous spirit continue to inspire us to serve our nation with integrity, stand up for our convictions, and uplift our fellow countrymen.
Wishing everyone a meaningful, reflective, and blessed Aglipay Day! ๐ต๐ญโจ
