Philippine Ambassador to Australia Ernesto H. De Leon leads Embassy officials and members of the Filipino Community in Canberra in the singing of the Philippine National Anthem
Philippine Ambassador to Australia Ernesto H. De Leon welcomed members of the Filipino Community in Canberra to “a celebration of the past, the present and the future of a nation firmly anchored on the ideals of democracy and freedom” during the Flag Raising organized by the Philippine Embassy to mark the 112th Philippine Independence Day.
“With the raising of the flag, we re-enacted a snippet from that historic moment when General Aguinaldo unfurled the first Philippine flag from his home’s balcony in Kawit, Cavite and declared the birth of a new nation,” the Ambassador said in his welcome remarks.
Despite the trials and travails, Ambassador De Leon said that we overcame many obstacles and triumphed over the challenges to democracy. “Today, the Philippines - Asia’s first republic and constitutional democracy - stands tall and proud in the family of nations,” he stated.

Canberra, 11 June 2010
Philippine Ambassador to Australia Ernesto H. De Leon commended Australia for being on the Philippines’ side on its journey to full sovereignty during a Vin d’Honneur he hosted to mark the 112th Anniversary of the Philippines’ Independence.
“In its journey to full sovereignty, the Philippines had on its side its partners in the family of nations, including Australia. The annals of history tell us that the dynamic interaction between the Philippines and Australia began even before the formalization of ties,” Ambassador De Leon said.
Ambassador De Leon went on to say how after sharing over six decades of warm and fruitful relations, the multifaceted partnership of the Philippines and Australia remains “vibrant and robust.”
