Constantino Foundation
@constantinofdn.bsky.social
The Constantino Foundation was established to advance a singular idea. In order to shape the future, the past must play an active role in the present.
“If freedom is to be preserved, fascism must be destroyed at all costs.”
These are the timeless words of the hero Pedro Abad Santos, born 150 years ago on 31 January 1876. He was a fighter for the welfare of his people even early in his life.
