I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Manila Bulletin on its 125th anniversary. For more than a century, the publication has been a steadfast pillar of journalism in the Philippines, consistently delivering reliable and comprehensive news to the Filipino people.

Over the years, the Manila Bulletin has evolved and expanded its media presence, embracing various platforms from print to social media, website, and video channels. Your commitment to innovation and adaptation has ensured that the news remains accessible and relevant to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

As you celebrate this historic milestone, we also pay tribute to the newspaper’s crucial role in preserving the country’s history as you documented significant events and provided a platform for diverse voices and perspectives. Your efforts have not only informed the public but also contributed to the nation’s collective memory and identity.

I commend the entire Manila Bulletin team for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence in journalism. May you continue to inspire and inform future generations of media professionals with the same passion and integrity that have defined your legacy.

At the same time, I urge you to continue embracing new technologies and platforms to reach an even wider audience, ensuring that the Manila Bulletin remains at the forefront of journalism in the digital age. Your role in shaping public opinion and preserving our history is invaluable, and I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in this mission.
