Philippine Independence

The Philippine Independence is celebrated every June 12, but did you know that there are several dates to consider in the declaration of our independence? There are actually four dates. First is June 12, it is the when Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the dictatorial government that time, declared our independence. The other is on August 24, when the Americans themselves gave us our independence. My stand is to celebrate our independence on June 12, since there were too many foreign entities involved during the August 24 date.

How about you? what do you think?

I think that we should celebrate it on June 12 since the spirit of the declaration of independence was with the Filipinos during that day.

People now a days do not feel the spirit of celebration, as long as its holiday people are happy so why not make it June 12 and July14?

We should not be celebrating independence because up until today we do not feel it, other nations rule over our country indirectly so why celebrate what does not exist
