Guv to emulate heroism of Jose Abad Santos in public service

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Governor Lilia Pineda urged on Monday her fellow government officials and Capitol employees to follow the example of Jose Abad Santos in placing the welfare of the people first above personal comfort and gains.
Pineda made this call after the wreath laying ceremonies Monday in honor of the 70th death anniversary of Jose Abad Santos at the Capitol Grounds here.
Pineda led government employees and officials in presenting flowers to the monument of Jose Abad Santos.
This was followed by a reading of the biographical sketch of Abad Santos and poetry reading rendered by Poet Laureate Romeo Rodriguez (Prinsipe ning Parnaso). Excerpts of the life of Abad Santos were presented in a creative dance number by the members of Sinukuan Kapampangan.
Pineda said Abad Santos is an example of a man who would risk life and limb for the common people.
She said such attitude should be displayed by government officials and employees in the simple ways of doing their work faithfully and with whole-hearted dedication.
“The life of Abad Santos should be an inspiration for us in government. Serving the people rain or shine is the way to do it. One does not need to die for one’s country in today’s time, one can display love of one’s country through little acts of courage and loyalty in government service,” Pineda told Sun.Star Pampanga.
Pineda said the commemoration also aims to make Kapampangans aware of the heroism of Abad Santos.
Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos is considered the greatest Filipino hero of World War II. He was among the greatest legal luminaries of the Philippines.
After completing his law studies in the United States as a government-sponsored scholar, he was also assigned for a few years in the Department of Justice. He was appointed later as the first Filipino corporate lawyer of the Philippine National Bank, Manila Railroad and other government corporations.
Moving on his professional career, he was recalled at the Department of Justice as Attorney General then to the position of Secretary of Justice.
In recognition of the brilliance and dedication to government service of Secretary Abad Santos, President Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippine Commonwealth appointed him later as Justice in the Supreme Court and eventually as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
At the outbreak of World War II, Quezon temporarily moved the seat of Philippine government to the USA.
Together with Vice President Sergio Osmeña and other cabinet members, they escaped by submarine from the invading Japanese Imperial Forces as General Douglas MacArthur transferred his general headquarters to Australia to re-organize the Allied Forces.
Abad Santos chose to remain in the Philippines as caretaker of the national government administration in the Philippines.
The Japanese Military Command repeatedly approached him to make him pledge allegiance to Japan and to the Japanese flag but he did not swear in. A Japanese colonel and his troops overtook him in Lanao and he was told that he would be shot to death if he would not swear allegiance to the Japanese flag.
He did not comply with the request of the Japanese so he was executed on May 2, 1942 in Malabang, Lanao del Sur in Mindanao. Before he was shot to death, he was able to talk to his young son, Jose, Jr. and his last parting words were “Do not cry, Jr., show to these people that you are brave. It is an honor to die for one’s country. Not everybody has that chance.”
