The change we seek for a better government and a better Country is everybody’s duty for the sake of the future of our children and our children’s children. However, the path towards that change is not an overnight burst of emotion but a dedicated and consistent struggle. Even if we abdicate on that duty, the future will certainly come. The question is: Do we want to be part in shaping that future?

We believe that patriotic and idealistic individuals are not confined within the ranks of the MAGDALO. There are many Filipino citizens out there who share the same dreams and aspirations for our country as we do. We just have to link and bond with each other so we may become stronger and formidable against the tyrants of this nation who plunder and kill its own people. We should act and the time is now. However, we can not do it alone. We need your support and participation.
It is for this reason that we have opened our doors to all Filipino citizens to join our cause and be one with our principles and advocacies. SAMAHANG MAGDALO envisions an empowered, responsible and enlightened Filipino citizenry as a vanguard for societal change and ultimately as a main pillar of a strong democracy. By our number we become empowered, by taking to heart our Code of Conduct we become responsible, by becoming aware of issues that affect our lives we become enlightened. Let the fire in our hearts continue to burn so it will bring light to our society which is kept in darkness all through these years.
I have faith in God that He will grant the collective desire of our hearts and make us victorious in our quest for righteousness in this Country. May God bless us.
