The declaration of independence is one of the most important milestone in Philippine history. The country was colonized by many nations for hundreds of years. Imagine, achieving your freedom after all the hardships you’ve been through. It is priceless.
The Philippine’s Independence
Day is a national holiday, so government officers are closed. There are
absolutely 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 rotes may be limited due to the closure of
streets used for parades. Independence day obviously stands as a reminder of
that long-fought battle for freedom and the people behind it. It is a day that
Filipinos should remember the courage and sacrifices by soldiers and heroes who
fought for or motherland. Inspired by their strength to fight and dedication to
free the country against colonizers should be remembered by the generations of
today and the years to come.
As we enjoy the holiday, may we
not forget its significance in our country’s history. Before our heroes
achieved our independence, they offered their talents and wits, and put their
lives at risk. May we learn from them as citizens of the Philippines.
