Philippine Independence Day : A Land to remember

Being a truly free country means a lot to the Filipino citizens. Years ago, we were attacked by the Spaniards. Living in terror, struggle and maltreatment made every single one of them to feel disrespected. About 300 years, they are abused by the military forces of the Spaniards. Thinking of themselves so powerful that they can do anything to satisfy their own pleasure. This mess went on and on because the Filipinos are not able to fight their rights and to defend their territorial control.

Until one day, American's volunteered their army to join forces with the Filipinos. Fighting for days, months and years was a shame in both nature and humanity. Blood was scattered, life was shredded and sacrificed for just one reason, to fight and claim what is ours. Those sacrifices and deaths stopped after a victorious side which leads a new era of the republic. But the question is, are we really that free to celebrate our freedom? That was a big question to all of the citizens. But most of them said we are not yet free from the hands of the Americans. In fact, they take advantage to us because of this deal. But the Philippine government didn't let this to go on and that's the time that they ended the relationship of the two sides. But it was not a happy ending, years past, other countries raided Philippines and war keeps on starting.

Decades past, and we freed ourselves from the hands of the others without the help of any reinforcements from foreign countries. They retained strong and glorious until the end of the war. And when El Presidente raised and waved the flag of the Philippines with valor heart and warm pride. That's why we need to celebrate the independence day for us to remember and give importance and to salute the heroes that made a slave country into a a free one. Though it was hard, but we still managed to to smile and laugh to celebrate the day when we were able to achieve a great accomplishment in which future generations will treasure.
