Raise your flag!

 

Philippines Independence Day is one of the most important events celebrated in the country because, after more than 300 years of being under the Spanish rule, the Philippines has been freed. It’s one of the most significant dates in the Philippines ’ history. Independence Day Philippines is commemorated every June 12. After hundreds of years under the Spanish rule, Emilio Aguinaldo has waved the Philippine flag for the very first time and declared independence in Kawit, Cavite.


Independence Day is a day when people, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide parades.  However, the main highlight is the police and military parade in Manila headed by the country’s incumbent president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute. The Philippine’s Independence Day is a national holiday so government offices are closed.  There are no classes in all schools.  Many business establishments are closed except shopping centers. Public transport such as buses, passenger jeeps, and tricycles still operate but their routes may be limited due to the closure of streets used for parades

The Declaration of Independence is still important today because it signifies the birth of a nation, instructs free citizens, and provides hope for all people who want to be free. To remember the sacrifices of our heroes and appreciate sovereignty, to show love to the country, and to spread awareness of Filipino culture.
