1898:Our Significant Historical Event

-

 

 


12th of June , year 1898 . In this significant date , our country , Philippines was able to free from the colonization of Spanish rule. It is indeed a date to celebrate and commemorate as after more than 300 years of being confined on our very own homeland , our flag was waved for the very first time by President Emilio Aguinaldo on Kawit , Cavite with the blue color on top of it which symbolizes peace and freedom of Filipinos. The day the Philippines gained independence is the pinnacle of patriotism, and June 12 holds that symbolic sense of a truly independent Filipino nation.  

The Philippines failed to win international recognition of its independence, specifically including the United States of America and Spain. In the Treaty of Paris on 1898 ,the Spanish government later ceded the Philippine archipelago to the United States The Philippines Revolutionary Government did not recognize the treaty and the two sides subsequently fought what was known as the Philippine -American War. The United States of America granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946. In accordance with the Philippine Indepence Act .President Harry S. Truman issued Proclamation 2695 of July 4, 1946 officially recognizing the independence of the Philippines. On the same day, the Treaty of Paris was signed.And so, the annual observance of Philippine’s Independence Day moved on June 12 as a national holiday and came effect after President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Republic Act No. 4166  

Philippines Independence Day

The country begins its celebration by displaying the national flag in various historical places nationwide. In Rizal Park or any other national historical landmark, the President, Vice President and other members of the government together with the Armed Forces and the general public, sing the national anthem Lupang Hinirang, while raising the national flag at 7 in the morning. It is followed by the wreath laying ceremony and the presidential speech. 

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.

    Time flies so fast for I am now moving on to the third quarter of my grade 10 journey. As always I learned new topics this second quarter. Just like the first grading period, I will share my experience from the subject who made me do blogging, ICT! . Think of this as my “ Through out my ICT Learnings ver. 2.0”. For this quarter , I learned so much mostly the terms related to HTML such as tags.

On this year, month of February , the first batch of vaccine arrived in our country.
