Since that faithful day in college history class, I never really knew how to treat June 12 as a legitimate Philippine independence day. I'm no historian, I was just a history student for at least 3 semesters in college, 4 years in high school, and 7 years in grade school. And no, I don't think I know much about the meaning of freedom either.
We Filipinos need to know more about our past. It's a sad fact a lot of events that concern the welfare of our nation and why we are in this state are not written on text books. I recommend this informative piece (please click on the link). If you want to educate yourself a little bit more about your roots, I'm sure you will take the time.
