Independence Day

A hundred and ten years ago, the Philippine independence was declared at the home of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, who then became the first president of the country. The said declaration was done amidst thousands of people by unfurling the Philippine flag, together with the singing of the national anthem, Lupang Hinirang. This is an event the Filipinos have fought for.

The independence came to view as the Spanish regime ended and the Filipinos finally are freed from the agony of being captives of the country's colonizers.

Today is June 12, the Philippine's Independence Day...
