Independence Day in Philippines

 

Independence Day is one of the most important dates in Philippine history because it commemorates the country's independence from Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. The Filipinos commemorate it every year on June 12th. This day is not just a regular holiday, it is this day that Filipinos remember the courage and sacrifices of soldiers and heroes who fought for our motherland. The general public has the day off, and most schools and businesses are closed.

Many people, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide parades on Independence Day. The main event, however, is a police and military parade in Manila led by the country's current president, which will be followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute. A large number of Filipinos spend their days in parks and shopping malls. Many Filipino communities around the world participate in the country's Independence Day celebrations.

The official declaration of the Philippines’ independence is one of the most treasured milestones that we Filipinos achieved in our rich history. After being colonized by many nations in the past centuries, our freedom is priceless. It is not only important to celebrate this holiday, but it is also important not to forget its significance for the Philippines.
