Freedom!

     

     One of the most significant event in the Philippine History is the Philippine Independence. On June 12, 1898 in Kawit, Cavite, the Philippines finally got its independence against the Spaniards. It is done by General Emilio Aguinaldo, president of the First Republic of the Philippines, by waving the flag as the sign of freedom here in the Philippines. We celebrate this event in honor and to remember the sacrifices of our courageous and brave ancestors and heroes. They fought the Spaniards, who colonize the Philippines for more than 300 years, with all their might and best. We celebrate this event as a special holiday and it is annually celebrated.

     In the Philippines, this is a special holiday. There are no classes in all levels in public and private schools. So, many students are happy because there are no classes. There are also no works and offices. But we must join hand-in-hand and be united in celebrating this event. The main event is the raising of flag where the president is participating and the parade of the police and military in Manila headed by the president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute. The importance of this event is to thank , to remember and to honor our heroes and ancestors who bravely fought for our freedom. The Filipinos were then the slaves when we were colonized by the Spaniards with the help of our heroes like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, and other heroes, who are behind the success, we finally claimed our independence.

     This event is important to all of us Filipinos. This is the day where we thank and honor our ancestors and heroes. This is the day where we value and give importance to their sacrifices. We must not be scared to other countries because we are born brave, it is in our blood. We Filipinos must celebrate this event with pride, honor and joy.
