Quezon City, June 10 - The Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Calabarzon Chapter, in collaboration with the Manila Times, The Filipinos World, and The Maharlikan Order of Tigers, came together to honor the significance of the 125th Philippine Independence Day.

Highlighting their invaluable contributions to the country, the speakers emphasized the vital role OFWs play in advancing the welfare and progress of our nation.
