spain finally Philippines become a country since 1898 this is the most
why philippines become a democratic country.....
Today, the 12th of June, is officially recognized as Independence Day in the Philippines. Through the years, other dates have been put forward, as to when Filipinos really did gain true independence.
Aug. 23, 1896, when Andres Bonifacio led in the tearing-up of the cedula, the symbol of our people’s subjection to Spain; June 12, 1898, when Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed our independence to the world; Sept. 29, 1898 when representatives of large parts of Philippine territory ratified that proclamation (in modified form); and July 4, 1946, when the world finally recognized that independence. Officially, the 12th of June has been chosen as the Philippine Independence Day, though the other dates have their own advocates, too.
I’m not going to discuss the finer details of these dates here. I’ll leave that to columnists such as Manuel L. Quezon III. It is a stimulating discussion, which I’d encourage you to read about. But for me, right now, I’m just happy to greet Filipinos all over the world a happy Independence Day!
