Let's celebrate the Philippine Independence Day
This year, we celebrate Philippine Independence Day on June 12th, 2022. The day marks the country’s 148th anniversary of gaining its independence from Spain.
The colonial rule by Spain was oppressive and did not benefit the Filipinos in any way. It was only after the Philippine Revolution that the country finally gained its independence in 1898.
Since then, the Philippines has made great progress and is now considered a prosperous Southeast Asian nation. The country has a rich culture and history, and it is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
