Annually, on the 12th day of June, we celebrate Philippine Independence. Various people are viewed to enjoy their leisure time as the said date is considered to be a holiday. For more than 300 years of colonization, our ancestors were chained of misery due to the difficulties they've been through. Most of us may know what is commemorated on the 12th but only few could decipher everything behind it. Why do we really celebrate Philippine Independence?
It is an act of looking back and appreciating the sacrifices of our ancestors in claiming the freedom of our country and its people. A day of being completely unlocked from the cages and being loosen from the grasp of selfish people is worth their century of happiness. Independence is annually brought to life to redeem the remembrance of the people who never stopped seeking for freedom. May it be with their use of pen or weapon, we can say they were wise enough that they were able to track the colonizers down. We proudly present our dedication towards them. We may not be fully free in expressing ourselves at present but at least we weren't as deprived as they were.
We celebrate on June 12, not because there are no classes, but to acknowledge our ancestors. We celebrate the day when contentment touched their souls, the day when radiance was visible in their eyes, and the day they survived the drought of freedom. Since our existence was marked, it is already carved in our lives the art of having them as heroes. Decades and centuries will pass, we'll bid our farewell to this life, but next generations should also not devoid them of identity.
