June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite -- the Philippine Flag was raised as a sign that we have been freed from the Spaniards -- ceremony lead by the first Philippine President Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo.

Today is the 110th Philippine Independence Day... yes, we have been freed from the Spanish colony for more than a century now. and of course, today should have been a holiday but just like the usual, GMA has moved it from today to last monday, june 9, 2008. but i also had a shift that day so it doesn't matter, i still get my holiday pay... hahaha :P i think that was just to make way for the start of classes, instead of starting on june 9 then holding the holiday most likely on a friday which is june 13, she just moved it earlier so the end of the summer vacation won't be interrupted which is i think kind of logical...
...
sigh... it just feels so nice to be free! Ü
