Philippine Independence Day 2015
Why is Philippine Independence Day Important to Celebrate?
Here, we enumerate the top reasons why it should be celebrated:
- mainly because it commemorates the Filipinos declaration of their inherent and inalienable right to freedom and independence (freedom from Spanish Colonialization or other foreign Colonialization)
- because Emilio Aguinaldo believed that a declaration of independence would inspire people to fight against the Spaniards, and at the same time lead other nations to recognize the independence of the Philippines
- because June 12 had been also observed as the "Flag Day" in the Philippines since it was the first time the Philippine flag was officially unfurled or waved (iwinagayway)
- it brings honor and love for those who spent their lives (heroes) seeking to end the abuses of Spain such as mutilation, gruesome death punishment, raped Filipino women, maltreatment, etc.
- it gave way to the Philippines for self-government, learning to be more educated and civilized
