The REAL Philippine Independence Day is JULY 4, 1946. This date is recognized by the International Community. Even in the United Nations, July 4 is recognized as the Philippine Independende Day. From 1946 to 1962, July 4 is celebrated as the Independence day in the Philippines, however, Macapagal changed the date to June 12 because he wasn't that successful in his mission in the United States. Macapagal made July 4 as "Philippine-American Friendship Day" ignoring the fact that the Philippines was a colony of the United States from 1902 to 1946.

There are other places in the Philippines though, such as Baguio City celebrates July 4 as Philippine Independence Day.

I read it somewhere though, that June 12 is celebrated as "The Declaration of Independence Day." Note the word "declaration."

______________________________________


U.S. Government Must Officially Apologize
for Atrocities in Philippine-American War

This was a "dirty" war treacherously begun when the United States from 1899 to 1902 snatched away the gains of the newly-born Philippine republic, and committed atrocities of genocidal proportions in a conflict which was objectively an American war of conquest.


It is high time that the Filipino people sought an official act of atonement and an official apology from the U.S. government for the American aggression and the countless atrocities committed against Asia's first Philippine Republic, its heroic sons and daughters.

Filipino historians like Agoncillo and Constantino have estimated that more than 300,000 Filipinos, mostly civilians perished as a result of the American onslaught against our new-born Philippine Republic. The most barbaric forms of torture and interrogation such as "water cure" as well as scorched earth military tactics and the brutal "reconcentration" of civilians were applied against the Filipino people. The most inhuman and brutal tactics experimented earlier against American Indian tribes in the American frontier were again applied and practiced by U.S. military veterans of the Indian campaigns. Worse, all of these are treated in all official U.S. documents and history books as part of "the Philippine Insurrection" to disguise the nature of the Filipino people's heroic resistance.

The term "Philippine Insurrection" implies an uprising against an already established American regime in the Philippines where for the most part, the conflict was objectively an American War of conquest, invasion and forcible occupation.

Just as Asian countries have successfully sought the official public apology by the Japanese government for its atrocities during World War II, pinoys must likewise seek the rectification and correction of the real "war of independence and liberation" during the Philippine-American War. History must at the least officially take stock of the truth for, it is "the truth that shall set us free."

Lupang Hinirang
translated into Tagalog by Julian Cruz Balmaceda, Ildefonso Santos,
and Francisco Caballo; finalized translation of 1966

Bayang Magiliw
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib moy buhay.

Lupang Hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
'Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma'y 'di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na 'pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'yo.

20 mins to the next day. my heartfelt felicitations to all filipinos.

on the 2 dates, the june 12 is more precious than the july 4, IMHO, even though it might not be considered the real one. a surreal independence day is a cool idea anyway.

Happy Independence Day Filipina... may peace and prosperity be upon you...

Jose Rizal is my hero btw...

"I want to show to those who deprive people the right to love of country, that when we know how to sacrifice ourselves for our duties and convictions, death does not matter if one dies for those one loves – for his country and for others dear to him".

cheers...
