00:11:05may our holy father
00:11:08be our guidance our
00:11:12lights during countless

00:11:18foundation that every nation

00:11:27us as a country and as a community, and
00:11:31when we gather here today and we
00:11:34reflect on the independence of
00:11:37Jamaica, we remember and reflect on
00:11:41the history of the people that made it possible for
00:11:44Jamaica to become independent, strong
00:11:48leaders, strong community that
00:11:52felt that the opportunity

00:12:11and Aruba is blessed, Aruba is blessed that we
00:12:15may share in those values and the strength of the
00:12:18Jamaican community, we celebrate the
00:12:21joint effort that we all are making to create
00:12:25a better nation for all that live in Aruba,
00:12:29and we call like the Jamaican National
00:12:32and cause for the Holy
00:12:35Father to guide us with his light
00:12:39in order to create that better opportunity,
00:12:43we also ask for the sense of responsibility that
00:12:47we share that prosperity, many countries in the
00:12:50world have very impressive
00:12:54economic number, have very impressive tourism
00:12:58numbers, Aruba also has these
00:13:01impressive economic and tourism numbers,
00:13:04but when we walk around our islands, when we visit
00:13:08neighborhoods, we enter houses in
00:13:11Aruba, we feel that although we have
00:13:14been successful economic growth and
00:13:17prosperity, we still have much to
00:13:21do in order for that prosperity to reach
00:13:24every household of Aruba to
00:13:27reach every street and every neighborhood, so when we come
00:13:30here together today, celebrating with the Jamaican
00:13:34community, let's also remember their
00:13:37contribution to the progress of Aruba, let's
00:13:41also make it cause that each
00:13:44one of all those
00:13:47making this prosperity share in this prosperity, that
00:13:51is definitely a goal for all of us.
00:14:22highlighting the importance of preserving culture and tradition.
00:14:36A new flag was raised in its
00:14:40place, black,
00:14:43the strength and creativity and the creativity of its
00:14:47people, green for the land
00:14:51and for hope and gold for the sunlight
00:14:56that never fades,
00:14:59on that night, a nation of farmers and fishermen, of teachers
00:15:02and market women, of poets
00:15:05and builders, stood before the world and
00:15:08declared with quiet confidence
00:15:12that it would henceforth cover
00:15:15itself,
00:15:17that night in 1962 Jamaica was born as an independent
00:15:21state, but the Jamaican spirit
00:15:25was born long before that, and it was born
00:15:29free, it survived the middle
00:15:32passage, it endured the
00:15:35plantation, it stood before the Maroons,
00:15:39stood with Maroons in the mountains and stood again in
00:15:42every generation that refused to allow our story
00:15:46to be written by someone
00:15:48else.
00:15:55Independence did not create a Jamaican spirit,
00:15:59independence gave it a
00:16:00flag,
00:16:05and I would ask you to reflect this evening
00:16:08where we have chosen to raise this flag, not in
00:16:12Kingston, but here in
00:16:16Main Street St.
00:16:17Nicholas.
00:16:21That choice is deliberate. A
00:16:25century ago, when the refinery brought this town to life,
00:16:28workers came from across the Caribbean to build new futures
00:16:31and among them came
00:16:34Jamaicans.
00:16:37Their labor, their faith, their culture, their
00:16:40music and their cuisine,
00:16:44they raised families here, they
00:16:47helped to build this community, they
00:16:50contributed to Aruba,
00:16:54the English spoken in these streets, the rhythm of
00:16:57this town, celebration, the very character of St.
00:17:00Nicholas,
00:17:03Jamaica is woven into this fabric,
00:17:07when our flag rises in the street,
00:17:10it rises not as a foreign
00:17:14banner, but as a portrait hung in a
00:17:17home of people helped to
00:17:19build, this is
00:17:22also we are part of this community.
00:17:52During an interview with Parliamentarian John Hard,

00:17:58leader
00:18:00a request that has already been made
00:18:03long ago.

00:22:20Parliamentarian Muzanin Wayver expressed great concern about various
00:22:24social problems that Aruba is currently facing. According to
00:22:27Parliamentarian Waver, this situation affects many families, a topic that
00:22:31weighs heavily on his heart. During his statement, in an interview with
00:22:34Telenotísia Parliamentarian Waver, he warned that he feels sadness to see
00:22:38how social disarray impacts the community of Aruba. He
00:22:41emphasized that the issue deserves immediate attention, and that it is
00:22:45important for all sectors of society to work together to find
00:22:49solutions.
