PRESIDENT MACAPAGAL: We took positive steps to re-establish the moral identity of the Filipino. Our people are inherently a race of honest men and women. With a view to enhancing these qualities, we took official cognizance of acts of honesty, respect for the law, simple living, punctuality, courtesy, cleanliness, devotion to the people in public trust, frugality, discouragement of gifts, discontinuance of large official retinues, patronage of native materials, and the like. We honored humble citizens who performed deeds of honesty. — From the Second State of the Nation Address of President Diosdado Macapagal delivered on January 28, 1963 Today is the 104th birth anniversary of Diosdado Macapagal, ninth President of the Philippines, and the fifth President of the Third Republic. malacanang.gov.ph/presidents/third-republic/diosdado-macapagal/
