REBIRTH OF FREEDOM

 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The early post- liberation period was marked by a kind of “struggle of
mind and spirit” posed by the sudden emancipation from the enemy,
and the wild desire to see print. Filipinos had, by this time, learned to
express themselves more confidently but post-war problems beyond
language and print-like economic stability, the threat of new ideas and
mortality – had to be grappled with side by side.

The Americans returned in 1945. Filipinos rejoiced and guerrillas who

fled to the mountain joined the liberating American Army.

On July 4, 1946, the Philippines regained is freedom and the Filipino

flag waved joyously alone.
