Philippine Independence: A Must Lesson For Everyone

to June 12.

This legalized the holiday, which was based on the Declaration of Independence on June 12, 1898 by General Emilio Aguinaldo and his Revolutionary Forces from Spanish colonization.

The Philippine flag was raised, and its national anthem was played for the first time on June 12, 1898 in Aguinaldo’s residence in Kawit, Cavite. Independence was, however, short-lived because Spain and the United States did not recognize the declaration.

However, when the 1898 Treaty of Paris ended the war between Spain and the United States, the Philippines started a revolt against the US in 1899 and achieved national sovereignty on July 4, 1946, through the Treaty of Manila.

Independence Day was officially observed on July 4 until the Republic Act No. 4166, which set out to move the holiday to June 12, was approved on August 4, 1963. Since then, we have been celebrating our Independence Day every 12th of June.

The original iteration of the flag, unfurled in 1898, is the one Filipinos still fly proudly today and was never changed.

The flag’s white triangle stands for equality, while the sunburst inside represents the eight provinces that took up arms against Spain. The blue stripe stands for peace, truth and justice and the red stripe for patriotism and valor. The three stars symbolize the three island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. their job titles?
