Independence: Liberty, Democracy, Freedom

 


This holiday is a regular holiday in the Philippines, celebrated annually on June 12th. It is the National Day of the Philippines. Known in the Philippines as 'Araw ng Kasarinlan', or 'Day of Freedom', this day commemorates the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12th 1898.

The Philippines, consisting of more than 7,000 separate islands in the western Pacific, declared independence from Spanish rule over 120 years ago.  Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo was responsible for making this claim but it wasn’t until 1962 that then-President Diosdado Macapagal made it a public holiday through a presidential proclamation.  The Filipino flag was unfurled for the first time on this day June 12 in 1898 at an inspiring celebration, which also featured the first public playing of the Philippines national anthem. The nation has made great strides. It’s considered to be an emerging market and a newly industrialized country. Tourism also makes a large impact on the Philippines economy.

Independence of the Philippines became a mighty feat. On independence day, the sacrifices of the national heroes are remembered, the country’s sovereignty is appreciated, instilling nationalism in the citizens, in addition to celebrating the tradition and culture of its people. Parades are held nationwide, with participation from the government, and the citizens. As it is a national holiday, businesses, offices, and colleges are closed, and families spend the day in parks, and doing different celebratory activities. Filipino groups overseas additionally have a good time with programs, and annual parades.

While we eagerly await the moment when all schools can safely resume in person, we strongly caution against reverting back to the “normal” way of doing things.  “Normal” was not working for so many students prior to COVID-19.   While the problem here, is how to find an answer whether in the google, book or on the concept notes. We are all struggling on how to keep up with our work. Sometimes, I really don't trust my answers and just submit it. Feels like I am not here to gain knowledge, I am here to passed my studies.  Some of my friends finally had time to read for pleasure, play guitar and some simply do nothing. I haven't been able to rest since day 1 because of d...

Hero Ways, Zero Waste

Imahe
          If the last few years taught us anything, it’s that life is uncertain and could change in a single day. That said, a major issue we face as humankind, the impacts of climate change, has been with us for a while now and our ocean and marine ecosystems are under increasing pressure from unmanaged waste emissions and unsustainable resource use. So, it’s high time for every one of us to take action and add some positive changes to our lives.           Hope still floats, especially now when so many people have joined the zero-waste movement once they’re aware that our planet is our only home and we should pay more attention to it.
