Philippines was colonized because of its beauty. For long years, Filipinos were treated wrong. Lives were taken, women were violated and mistreated. Filipinos became the slave of its own country. But as years went by, the Philippines won over its freedom.
June 12, 2018, marked 120th Philippine Independence Day. After Philippines suffered from the Spaniards to Americans and to the Japanese, Filipinos conquered, defeated and won over our freedom. Lives were taken, innocent bloods shed, tears overflowed, but with the leadership of our heroes, the Philippines raised its flag, sewn by Marcela Marino de Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad on May 28, 1898, but was officially unfurled on June 12, 1898 by the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, Emilio Aguinaldo. We celebrate the Independence day to remember the bravery and sacrifice of our forefathers for our country to be free. It is for us to remember the hardships of the Filipinos who fought and give their lives just for us to be free and, it is for us to thank them for giving the Philippines the treatment and love she deserves, for us to have the justice and sovereignty.
Let's not forget everything that happened in our history. Although the bitterness and pain is there, the sweetness and success be important. Let's value the thing's they left. Let's value all what they gave for us to have a brighter future. Let's continue to rise up and wave our flag. Let's be proud that we're Filipinos, a blood of brave, a blood of pure hearts.
