Why Do We Celebrate Independence Day?
Independence Day, one of the most significant dates in the Philippines' history. Filipinos celebrate Independence Day annually on June 12 because it marks the nation's independence from the spanish rule. The Philippine Flag was raised and its national anthem was first played for the first time in 1898. But do we really own this Archipelago called Philippines? Do we need to celebrate Independence Day?
A giant flag of the Philippines was raised for the first time and together with the playing of the Philippines' national anthem entitled "Lupang Hinirang" in 1898. In 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal issued Proclamation No. 28 moving the Celebration of Independence day to June 12. We celebrate Independence Day annually to commemorate the people behind the freedom of the Philippines, celebrating the Independence of the Philippines from the colonization of Spain. We need to celebrate Independence Day to give or show deep gratitude or to recognize the people beyond the freedom of the Philippines. We must show our deep gratitude to those heroes who brought freedom to the Philippines.
Independence day simply explains on each of the Filipinos that a freedom for our country must be saved from the arms of whoever tried to colonized the Philippines. Commemorating heroes by celebrating Independence Day reminds the achievement and freedom brought to the Philippines.
