"WHAT
WE CHERISH IN OUR HEARTS"
The
call is for all of us, hearing and deaf alike, to
dedicate ourselves once more to our deaf countrymen, to
share in shaping up a foundation that shall be solid,
continuing and strong enough to give the deaf the
acceptance and recognition they so deserved, not only as
equal members of the community but a citizen of the
Republic of the Philippines with equal rights, dignity
and sense of self-confidence.
Let
us therefore give the deaf a new reach, a new hope
extending our concern and let them feel that they, too,
were born equal before God as well as in dignity before
men. More than ever what we have also hoped for through
the years is for the hearing to always extend their love
and concern to the deaf.
For
in doing so, the deaf will also continue to appreciate
and love the hearing in return a kind of relationship
that know no boundary, no prejudice, nor discrimination,
a feeling bound together in love, brotherhood and human
compassion.
Truly,
this is what we have cherished in our hearts!
