Philippine Declaration of Independence
Today is Independence Day of my beloved Country Philippines. The real spirit of this occassion is disappearing. For Filipinos its just an ordinary day because there are more important things to prioritize than celebrating. Since most of Filipino men are struggling to survive to have a meal and support their family. For some National Holiday mean double pay...I feel sorry for that ignorant people that they only think that june 12 is money. I hope we pay a little respect to our heroes that give us the freedom and thanks them. Its not just about money. Its about what we have for today.
Look back from our history, Its not just about double pay for June 12, It about the history where General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain.
The image is one of the Philippine peso bill which shows an image of Filipinos rejoicing the independece day. Sad to say that this 5 peso paper bill is not in circulation anymore. Mostly the one who have this bill is a collector.
