PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY

    THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1898 June 12, Philippine independence declared: “During the Spanish-American War, Filipino rebels led by Emilio Aguinaldo proclaim the independence of the Philippines after 300 years of Spanish rule. By mid-August, Filipino rebels and U.S. troops had ousted the Spanish, but Aguinaldo’s hopes for independence were dashed when the United States formally annexed the Philippines as part of its peace treaty with Spain.”


Independence Day is a Philippine national holiday celebrated every year on June 12 to commemorate the country's declaration of independence from Spain in 1898. On Independence Day, national heroes' sacrifices are commemorated, the country's sovereignty is respected, citizens are instilled with nationalism, and the culture and tradition of the people are celebrated. The Philippines' independence was a huge accomplishment. On Independence Day, national heroes' sacrifices are commemorated, the country's sovereignty is respected, citizens are instilled with nationalism, and the culture and tradition of the people are celebrated.

    I can now claim that our country's independence day is significant, but not the most significant, because every heroes day or event commemorating our Philippine heroes is significant. This means that not only Independence Day, but all celebrations commemorating our country's heroes are significant.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

  WHAT I HAVE LEARNED Now that I'm in tenth grade, I can't deny that I've learned a lot of things, one of which is how to properly create and write a blog. With this expertise, I can tell stories, share what I know, and provide my readers motivational remarks. Writing a blog allows me to express all I want to say to others.  Our generation of young people has gotten addicted to social media, yet we have no idea where the websites we use came from, so I'm glad I learned about Google, Safari, and other websites. I discovered the origins and history of these websites. Because the world's trend is different in today's day, everything you see is full of social media, online classes, and so on. So far, I've met problems similar to starting my own blog. I once felt mental blocked since I couldn't think of what to write first in my draft. I was having trouble because I still didn't know much, but after reading about the topic I should be writing about on t...

Let the children have fun

  Let the children have fun Much has changed in our world over the two years of pandemics, virus spread, and school closures or changes. There are people who have lost their jobs, who are crying and suffering as a result of the virus's victims, and there are people who are struggling as the world changes. Nowadays, hardly much comes out of their house; there aren't many people roaming by, and kids don't run or play on the side of the road. They are all already isolated to their homes as a result of the pandemic; they are suffering because it is required, and as a result, they no longer have the opportunity to experience childh ood like others did in 2019 or prior to the outbreak. “New Normal Na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan!” It is a good slogan that tells or shows that we need to focus on the Rights of every child just like playing, learning and disciplining them. Children are not yet very naive in life so we need to teach them, discipline them a...

What can the Lenten Season do for Catholics?

What can the Lenten Season do for Catholics?           To begin, what is the Lenten Season? Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday, is a season of reflection and preparation leading up to the Easter celebrations. Christians imitate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and 40-day retreat into the wilderness by observing Lent for 40 days. Fasting, both from food and from festivities, is a feature of Lent. Lent is a time for us to examine our poor habits and strive to become more like Christ. Lent is also a season when people make sacrifices. We have the opportunity to sacrifice something important to us during this season. Lent isn't something that many people look forward to. Giving up candy as a kid or sitting through weekly Stations of the Cross come to mind right away. Words like "sacrifice," "discipline," and "self-denial" are frequently employed in ways that imply Lent is a period of suffering rather than grace and spiritual progre...
