For hundreds of years, the country was colonized by a variety of nations. Imagine achieving your independence after all of your trials and tribulations. It is priceless. Since 1962, the 12th of June has been observed as Philippine Independence Day. The ceremony was originally scheduled for July 4, but President Diosdado Macapagal moved it to June 12 to honor Emilio Aguinaldo's declaration of independence from the Spaniards.

King Jr. was compelled to surrender his soldiers to the Japanese army on April 9, 1942. These forces consisted of American, Filipino, and Chinese soldiers that were taken prisoner of war. Many troops died as a result of the heat, weariness, and famine while they marched 150 kilometers to a prison camp. This journey became known as the Bataan Death March.  Image retrieved at https://slsu.edu.ph/events/araw-ng-kagitingan/           The fall of Bataan, also known as Araw ng Kagitingan or Bataan Day, is a significant event in Filipino history.

She wants them to grow up to be nice people who have a good education, excellent health, and good character. She'll spend sleepless nights cheering them on during exams or sporting events, for example. She has the ability to battle the entire world for this. She wants us to keep our clothes clean and grow into respectable people. She takes care of everything for us before we ever ask. In many ways, we owe our mother a debt of gratitude. All a mother requires is the love and happiness of her children. We should acknowledge how hard our mother works for us as we grow older and strive to assist her with domestic chores and other tasks.

Image retrieved at https://askthescientists.com/men-women-different/           Men and women make up our society. Men were once thought to be the family's most important members. They were the family's decision-makers and were in charge of making a living. Women, on the other hand, were in charge of household and child rearing. As a result, the roles were primarily determined by gender and were not involved in any decision-making. Women's difficulties are either focused on their reproductive role and their bodies, or on their economic role as a worker. However, none of them is centered on women's empowerment.

Binatbatan Festival of the Arts is a city-wide cultural display that began in 1993 to coincide with the city's Tres de Mayo celebrations. To commemorate the celebrations, the centuries-old monuments along Crisologo Street were all draped in abel iloko fabric or inabel. Binatbatan street dancing began in 2002, with dancers imitating the ancient Ilocano method of beating cotton pods with two bamboo sticks, which is the initial step in the process of creating inabel. The seeds were separated from the fluff by pounding.

Though he is not the one who invented the method, he was considered to be the father of vaccines due to his scientific approach which proved the effectiveness of vaccination. He performed the method of arm-to-arm inoculation which involved taking material from a blister of a person infected with cowpox and inoculated it into another person’s skin. Because of the effectiveness of the first invented vaccines, the production increased, and a lot of different illnesses, especially viruses was cured from vaccines.
