Personal Opinion
“The Duties of the Sons of the People” by Bonifacio conveys
an important message. We think it calls for collective action
and social responsibility in the pursuit of independence and
social justice. It emphasizes that the duty of every individual
is to contribute to the well-being of the community and to
fight against oppression and inequality. Bonifacio stresses the
importance of unity and selflessness, urging the people to
come together and work towards the common goal of
liberation. The text serves as a rallying cry to awaken a sense
of duty and purpose among the Filipino people, encouraging
them to play an active role in shaping their own destiny.
Every citizen has a duty to defend the
rights and honor of the people, for it
is through their collective strength
that true liberation is achieved.
