Today is the day, the day that my beloved nation celebrates its 114th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence Day!!
As far back as I can remember, as students, we were always taught that on June 12, 1898, a declaration of Independence in the Philippines from the colonial rule of Spain was proclaimed at Emilio Aguinaldo's headquarters in Cavite. Hmm. I do not remember learning very much. I tried ways to stay awake during Ms. Royales' history class. But I learned that this is such a significant day for Filipinos as it marks the beginning of the long-awaited and hard-fought FREEDOM.

"True love of country is not about mouthing empty pride over which that is not our own, it is claiming the pride by making OUR PHILIPPINES, a noun synonymous to humility, service, community, excellence and honor. Let us all claim emancipation and genuine independence!" More on Philippine Updates >>
