...just some post-Independence day thoughts...
The Philippines celebrated its 114th anniversary of independence/freedom. If I remember what I learned from my history classes right, the Independence Day that we are celebrating every June 12 happened in 1898, but Americans were still ruling in the Philippines in 1900s. Does this mean that we are only celebrating independence from the Spaniards, how about our independence from the Americans, when is it? Or maybe we haven’t really gained our independence from them. We may not be directly under their rules nowadays but we are still so much dependent on them.
