,โ said President Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Philippines, as he delivered his speech at the PMA graduation to commemorate the United States' recognition of Philippine independence.
Although Philippine independence was once commemorated on July 4, President Macapagal later declared June 12 as the official Independence Day, first celebrated in 1963, honoring the historic proclamation by General Emilio Aguinaldo in Kawit, Cavite, in 1898, when the Philippine flag was unfurled and the national anthem was first played.
Today marks the 128๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐. The inherent right of every Filipino does not depend on this day alone. Even in the smallest corners of society, cries for freedom persistโvoices meant not to be ignored, noble pasts remembered, and desperate pleas that refuse to be silenced. These acts of courage and sacrifice do not diminish century-old efforts. Let the recognition of this day serve as a wake-up call, urging us to reject complacency and never blindly submit to any form of authority or oppression.
