  • Happy Independence Day to the Philippines!

    Happy Independence Day to the Philippines!

    Happy Independence Day to the Philippines! Saturday, June 12, 2021, is Philippines Independence Day, or as locals call it, “Araw ng Kasarinlan” (“Day of Freedom”). This annual national holiday honors Philippine independence from Spain in 1898. On June 12, 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Philippines flag for the first time and declared this date as Philippines Independence Day. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, and Delfina Herbosa designed the flag of the Philippines, which is famous for its golden sun with eight rays. The rays symbolize the first eight Philippine provinces that fought against Spanish colonial rule. After General Aguinaldo raised the flag, the San Francisco de Malabon marching band played the Philippines national anthem, “Lupang Hinirang,” for the first time. Spain, which had ruled the Philippines since 1565, didn’t recognize General Aguinaldo’s declaration of independence. But at the end of the Spanish-American War in May 1898, Spain surrendered and gave the U.S. control of the Philippines. In 1946, the American government wanted the Philippines to become a U.S. state like Hawaii, but the Philippines became an independent country. The U.S. granted sovereignty to the Philippines on July 4, 1968, through the Treaty of Manila. Filipinos originally celebrated Independence Day on July 4, the same date as Independence Day in the U.S. In 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to June 12 to commemorate the end of Spanish rule in the country. This year marks 123 years of the Philippines’ independence from Spanish rule. In 2020, many Filipinos celebrated Independence Day online because of social distancing restrictions.

We conduct ceremonies every Mondays and Fridays to put it up and bring it back down. But how do we all know our own flag? The newer generation might take it for granted because it seemed to be just a piece of cloth with colors in it. But in order to attain even just the rights to be able to rise our flag many lives were sacrificed. Blood was shed to the soil of our mother land just so we can have a symbol of our independence. The Philippine flag have under gone some changes through out the years. From the one sewn by Filipino expatriates in Hong Kong when General Emilio Aguinaldo was there in exile. When the general returned to the country on May 28, 1898, to rally the troops for battle against the Spanish forces in Cavite, the flag was used as a revolutionary standard. The first flag was consisting of three colors, blue, white, and red with three stars and a sun with a face. A month later on June 12, 1898, the historic waving of the Philippine flag on Aguinaldo’s residence on Kawit, Cavite, making the proclamation of independence from the Spanish regime. This flag was used from 1898 to 1907.

    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS of the ) REPUBLIC of the PHILIPPINES ) Second Regular Session 1

    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) Second Regular Session 1 Introduced by Senator Richard J. Gordon EXPLANATORY NOTE The Philippine flag was sewn by the revolutionary junta in Hong Kong and first displayed in battle on May 28, 1898. It was formally unfurled during the proclamation of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898 by President Emilio Aguinaldo. Article XVI, Section 1 of the Constitution provides: "The flag of the Philippines shall be red, white, and blue, with a sun and three stars, as consecrated and honored by the people and recognized by law. !, The law governing the design, manner of display, and observance of respect for the Philippine flag is Republic Act No. 8491, enacted fittingly in 1998 or on the centennial of Philippine independence. The design adopted the mythical sun (with a face) common to many former Spanish colonies; the.triangle of Masonry; the eight rays representing the first eight provinces that revolted and were put under martial law by the Spaniards during the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896, namely: Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac. There are three stars representing the three major geographical divisions of the country: Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Not only does the flag represent principles of sovereignty and solidarity of the Philippine nation, it embodies the ideals and traditions of the Filipino people developed over the course of national history. Of history we refer to the period before the arrival of the Spanish up to the present, centuries replete with stories of struggles for independence and victory against colonizers.
