Independence Day Philippines:Happy Independence Day Philippines: June 12 as Philippine Independence Day.
Today, we remember The Katipuneros waving our bandila in Emilio Aguinaldo’s crib in Cavite. This is done for the first time after fighting against the Spaniards. June 12 really wasn’t the original date for the Independence Day but NAH… I’m not going to give another history lesson here. If you just happen to come across this article because you were left with some Philippine history homework on the Independence Day, I suggest that you hit that back button and click that next link on Google. I’m kidding. You should go on reading. This stuff might actually help you somehow. Welcome to Pinoy Teens, by the way if you’re a first time visitor.
Believe it or not, there are two separate entries on the dictionary for Independence and Independence Day. See? Even the lexicographers think that it’s important enough to give it its own meaning aside from its root word. The simple definition of “not relying on another” becomes “freedom from another ruler”.

For the Philippines, it is freedom the Spaniards. I know, I know. What do some of us care about some Spanish Era history shizz, right? Well aside from the fact that if it not for the Katipuneros, you may not be able to speak in your native tongue today without spending a day or two in jail, there is this classic history concept that things from the past pretty much contributes to what we are as present Filipinos and what we are made of right now.
