I am a Proud Filipino!

                As a 21^st century student, I found out that most of the students like me is considering some important dates in our calendar, just like our “Independence Day”, as just a special holiday. This is serious problem because in their mind it is just a simple holiday and no interest in knowing the reasons why we celebrate it. While reading this you will find out some facts about “Independence Day” and my insights on why do we take this as special day.

            We Filipinos, gained our freedom/ independence from the colonization of different nations in June 12, 1898. This is the day when the sacrifices and hardships of our ancestors to gain this independence has been paid off. Having our independence was not easy, it toke a lot of lives to our ancestors and lot of pain to the ones who were left behind. Independence day is a day to remember all those sacrifices and to thank them for what we have now. Without them, maybe we are still out there being humiliated by other nations.

            Reminiscing the things that happened in getting our independence will make us to be more proud as a Filipino citizen and we will be able to go out there saying “I’m a proud Filipino”. It is important thing to have a strong nationalism. As a Filipino we should respect, promote and develop and support our nationality. For we are living now in the age that we are being attracted/influence to other nations culture.

            “I am a proud Filipino!” and I will never be ashamed of who I am. Independence day is not just a holiday. We should share this to everyone and tell  them the importance of this day. For we are Filipinos and we are invulnerable.
