Philippine news: Filipino: I am proud to be a Filipino!

June 12, 1898, is a glorious date in the history of the Filipino people. On this day, President Emilio F. Aguinaldo proclaimed the freedom of the Filipino people. The Philippine national flag was hoisted and the country’s national anthem was played. It heralded the birth of a new nation.

We yearly celebrate Philippine Independence Day to bring to the awareness of our people that freedom is a most precious right. Only those who fight for their freedom deserve to be free.
