DID YOU KNOW?

One of the most significant dates in the Philippine's rich history is Independence Day. It marks the nation's independence from the Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. Since then, Filipinos celebrate it annually on June 12.


It was during the time of then President Diosdado Macapagal that the annual observance of Philippine Independence Day is observed on June 12. After signing the Republic Act No. 4166 on August 4,1964 , June 12 became a legal holiday. It is based on the Declaration of Independence made on June 12, 1898 by General Emilio Aguinaldo along with the Filipino revolutionary forces from the Spanish colonization. It was during this day that the Philippine's Flag was raised and its national anthem was played for the first time in 1898.

The Philippine Flag is symbolized by the following:

Royal blue field symbolizes peace, truth, and justice.
Scarlet red field symbolizes patriotism and valor.
White triangle stands for equality and brotherhood.
Three stars on the corners of the triangle represents the three main geographical regions of the country namely Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

The sun at the center of the triangle has eight rays representing the eight Philippine provinces that started the revolt against Spain.

The flag is seen in various places across towns and cities in the Philippines during the country's Independence Day.
