KALAYAAN 2021: HAMON NG PANDEMYA ATING LABANAN PARA SA

PAGHILOM NG BAYAN
SY: 2020-2021

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the most significant dates in the Philippine’s history is Independence Day because it marks
the nation’s independence from the Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. Filipinos celebrate it annually on
June 12.
Independence Day is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and
most businesses are closed.
In 2021, it falls on a Saturday, and some businesses may choose to follow Saturday opening
hours. Independence Day is a day when many people, including government officials, employees, and
students, participate in nationwide parades.  However, the main highlight is the police and military
parade in Manila headed by the country’s incumbent president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun
salute.  Many Filipinos spend the day in parks and malls. Many Filipino communities in other
countries also observe the nation’s Independence Day celebrations. The annual June 12 observance of
Philippine’s Independence Day came into effect after past President Diosdado Macapagal signed
the Republic Act No. 4166 regarding this matter on August 4, 1964.  This Act legalized the holiday,
which is based on the Declaration of Independence on June 12, 1898 by General Emilio Aguinaldo
and Filipino revolutionary forces from the Spanish colonization.  The Philippines’ flag was raised and
its national anthem was played for the first time in 1898.  However, liberty was short-lived because
Spain and the United States did not recognize the declaration.
The 1898 Treaty of Paris ended the war between Spain and the United States. Spain surrendered
the entire archipelago comprising the Philippines to the United States.  The Philippines started a revolt
against the United States in 1899 and achieved national sovereignty on July 4, 1946, through the
Treaty of Manila.  Independence Day was officially observed on July 4 until the Republic Act No.
4166, which set out to move the holiday to June 12, was approved on August 4, 1964.
With the initiative of Danlag National High School Araling Panlipunan Department and SSG,
