"el espíritu de nuestra libertad"

Most of us now a days know that June 12 is a holiday, No work with pay for others, double pay for those who chooses to work on this day, but on this day happens the most important day in the entire Philippine history. It is today we commemorate the 111th day that we gained our freedom. It is we're General Emilio Aguinaldo raised our flag in "Kawit" which is formerly known as "El Viejo" in the province of Cavite in 1898. At around 4:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon with the public reading of the Act of the Declaration of Independence, Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain, which had been recently defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. Now that we're in the modern age of civilization where in the lives of many Filipinos have changed because of the modern day technology which is almost everything can be done with just one click of the button. May we not forget those brave Filipino warriors that had lived before us and fight for the freedom that we are enjoying right here and right now. Let their spirit lived on, and let their bravery be told in each every heart of our countrymen. Let them live through generation after generation.
