Recognition

Emilio Aguinaldo’s declaration of the Philippine Independence

was recognized by neither Spain nor the United States.
It was only in 1964 when President Diosdado P. Macapagal signed
Republic Act 4166 designating June 12 as Philippine Independence
Day that the country began to celebrate Independence Day on
June 12.
It used to be celebrated on July 4

the date moved?

qIn the height of Filipino Nationalism during the 1950-1960’s it was deemed
by lawmakers at that time to recognize June 12 as the Independence Day
instead of July 4 to give recognitions to the Filipinos who stood up against
the Spanish Rule
qDespite the passing of this law, each group of historians are divided as to
when should the Philippine Independence day should be celebrated.
qSome arguing that it should still be celebrated in July 4 to align with
international records and receive proper recognition.
qSome are even proposing that August 1896 is the more appropriate date to
be remembered as this was when the cedulas were torn in the Cry of
Pugadlawin.

him to composed a national hymn

Filipinas, which was in Spanish: (but sometime in
the 1920’s the time signature was changed to 4/4
because the music was too fast for singing)
