           One of the most significant events in Philippine history is the declaration of independence. 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.

             After President Diosdado Macapagal altered the date from July 4, the day when a treaty establishing the Philippines' independence from the United States was signed, Philippine Independence Day has been observed every June 12 since 1962. Let us recall lines and quotations from renowned Filipinos who were significant figures in the independence that we enjoy today in honor of the 122nd Independence Day of the Philippines and to remind us why it is vital to commemorate this historic proclamation. This day is more than just a holiday; it is a day on which Filipinos commemorate the bravery and sacrifices of warriors and heroes who battled for our homeland. Their courage in the face of colonizers, as well as their determination to freeing the country, should be remembered by today's and future generations.

            These valiant efforts should be regarded with the same reverence as the gift of dominion. It is critical not just to commemorate this occasion, but also to remember its significance for the Philippines. We may have varied ways of expressing our love for the Philippines, but let us value even the small gestures we make to demonstrate how much we care for our nation. Being a law abiding citizen or supporting the country in your own small manner is already an act of displaying your love, as is keeping our surroundings clean and orderly. On this day, we also honor the sacrifices made by front-line employees and critical personnel to assist our country in times of need.

Having time to chat with your friends personally, and getting to hug them everyday had became a routine in a student's day in school. Listening to your teacher's discussion, having snacks with your classmates while sharing jokes with each other and not worrying about other people as long as you're all happy. Who would have thought it would all change in a sudden?

Long ago, men and women are treated differently. Men are treated a lot better than women because it is said that they are more strong, bold, and fierce. Women in the other hand, are being treated poorly because they are said to be weak, and they are the main victims of abuse, since they are believed to be powerless.  Image retrieved at https://images.app.goo.gl/iWEruxP9ns1sUdGC9           But as time goes by, people are getting more conscious on women abuse, until it wasn't tolerated anymo
