Why do Filipinos Celebrate Independence Day?

"Independence Day" it is the day when a country garnered its freedom. June 12, a very important date in the Philippine history. It is really true that Philippines is a very beautiful country. A country that is surrounded by bodies of water, land formation and many tourist spots. For the fact that in Philippines, we have 7107 islands and heritage sights such as Calle Crisologo of Vigan, Puerto Prinsesa of Palawan, Rice Terraces of The Philippine Cordilleras and many more. And because of the beauty of our country many people want to own our country. 

For over hundreds of years, our country has been colonized by many countries. Spain, Japan, those are the countries once who own our Nation. After a long time of being colonized, we garnered freedom and celebrate it on every 12th  of June. 

We Filipinos celebrate Independence Day to Show or to gave an Honor and respect to all those Filipino Heroes who sacrifices their lives just to be free by the hands of  Spaniards. We Filipinos should always remember, If our ancestors didn't fight for our freedom, our country will be always the same just like before.
