The liberation of Filipinos from foreigners

The Philippines Independence Day is an annual national holiday in the Philippines that commemorates the Philippines' declaration of independence from Spain in 1898 on June 12. Due to the Independence Day is a national holiday in the Philippines, all government offices are closed. In all schools, there are no classes at all. With the exception of retail malls, many businesses are closed. Buses, passenger jeeps, and tricycles are still running, however their itineraries may be restricted due to the closure of streets utilized for parades.

On August 4, 1964, former President Diosdado Macapagal signed Republic Act No. 4166, which established the annual June 12 commemoration of Philippine Independence Day. This Act made the holiday legitimate, which commemorates General Emilio Aguinaldo's and Filipino revolutionary forces' declaration of independence from Spanish domination on June 12, 1898. In 1898, the Philippine flag was flown for the first time, and the national song was played for the first time. The statement was not recognized by Spain or the United States, hence independence was short-lived. The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1898, put an end to the conflict between Spain and the United States. The Philippines' whole archipelago was handed up to the United States by Spain. In 1899, the Philippines revolted against the United States, and the Treaty of Manila granted them national sovereignty on July 4, 1946. Until the Republic Act No. 4166, Independence Day was officially observed on July 4th. On August 4, 1964, a bill was passed to relocate the holiday to June 12.

Many individuals, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide parades on Independence Day. The primary event, though, is a police and military parade in Manila led by the country's current president, which will be followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute. A large number of Filipinos spend their days in parks and shopping centers. Many Filipino communities around the world participate in the country's Independence Day celebrations.
