Mensahe ng suporta para sa kasaysayang lokal ng ating bayan mula sa Punongbayan ng Silang
History lives on through the stories we choose to preserve, and through this publication, we are given the privilege of honoring one of the proud sons of Silang, Heneral Vito Belarmino: Ang Dakilang Anak ng Silang. This book is a fitting tribute to a man whose life of courage, patriotism, and service remains an enduring source of inspiration for our municipality and our nation.
At a time when many stories of our past risk being forgotten, initiatives such as this remind us of the importance of preserving our history and honoring the individuals who helped shape our identity as a people. Heneral Vito Belarmino's legacy stands as a reflection of bravery, leadership, and unwavering love for country. His contributions to the struggle for freedom continue to inspire us to value sacrifice, integrity, and public service for the benefit of future generations.
This publication is likewise a testament to the dedication and commitment of the authors, researchers, historians, and all those who worked tirelessly to bring this meaningful project into reality. Through your efforts, the story of one of Silang's distinguished sons will continue to educate, inspire, and instill pride among our fellow Silangueรฑos, especially the youth who will one day carry forward the legacy of our community.
As Municipal Mayor, I fully support endeavors that promote cultural awareness, historical preservation, and civic pride. Our history is more than a collection of names and events; it is the foundation of our identity and the guide that helps us move forward as a united community. By remembering the lives and sacrifices of our heroes, we strengthen our appreciation of the values that continue to bind us together as a people.
May this publication serve not only as a valuable historical reference, but also as a lasting reminder of the courage and patriotism exemplified by Heneral Vito Belarmino.
May his story continue to inspire generations of Silangueรฑos to love their heritage, honor their history, and serve their community with dedication and pride.
On behalf of the Municipal Government of Silang, I extend my sincere appreciation and congratulations to everyone behind this worthy undertaking. May this work continue to preserve the legacy of our heroes and deepen our people's understanding of the rich history and identity of Silang.
