ARAW NG KASARINLAN: PHILIPPINES INDEPENDENCE DAY

-


After more than 300 years under Spanish rule, the Philippines declared independence on this day in 1898. Filipinos commemorate their independence on June 12th by raising their national flag high in the sky.

While many people battled for Filipino freedom, only a handful have been acknowledged and remembered as heroes for their contributions to the country's independence. José Rizal was a significant figure in the Filipino Propaganda Movement, and his works sparked a wave of nationalism. Andrés Bonifacio, known as "The Father of the Philippine Revolution," founded the Katipunan, a secret club that led several successful battles against the Spanish. During the Spanish-American War, General Emilio Aguinaldo was another important man who fought alongside the Americans. He was the one who declared the Philippines an independent republic on June 12, claiming a "dignified position in the concert of free countries."

Happy Araw ng Kasarinlán, or Independence Day, to the Philippines!

Even though Mother's Day is observed annually on the second Sunday in May, we should treat every day as Mother's Day to show our moms how much we appreciate them. Mother's Day is a holiday that every child wishes to mark in a unique way. Some people cut cakes for their moms, some cook for them, and some send gifts. Some individuals choose to celebrate it outside of their homes. Handmade presents always occupy a particular place in our moms' hearts among all the pricey items. Some individuals like spending time wi...

The beginning of a new calendar year makes many people want to start fresh on some personal or professional habit. It is very necessary for me to set the target every year and try every waking moment to get the desired and set target. Everyone must dream to do something productive because dreaming and materializing dreams are akin to success.  I am a still student and being a student I have also made resolutions before, but just like anybody else, I too break it up. But this time I am going to stick to my resolutions and make sure that I change myself. I have noted down a few resolutions that I would like to take this year and stick to them. The most important of all is to be organized and to improve. I never have the habit of organizing my work and therefore end up in incomplete homework and projects.  So this year I plan to be more systematic and organized so that I finish my work on time and do not keep pending, the works assigned t...
