independence day
Good Morning Philippines, Respected teachers and my dear friends. I wish you a happy independence Day.
INDEPENDENCE DAY means a day when we had got freedom from not only brute rulers but freedom from what from fulfillment of right needs…
Today on June 12,2014 Philippines is celebrating its 116th Independence day and we are proud to say that we earned our freedom 116 year back, which was by an act passed by the American parliament and we were the first to get our independence through the act which is a mark of respect.
Independence Day is the day to commemorate all the works of certain people or individuals who contributed much for the liberty of their country. More that celebrating the freedom of the country from slavery, dictatorship and tyrant rule, it is also the day to acknowledge all the sufferings and hardships of these people we called heroes. We recognize their bravery and thank them for all the things they contributed for the freedom of their country and countrymen. But let me remind you all that winning Independent was the end of our struggle, it was just the beginning of our greatest challenge and that was to make us prosperous.
As a Filipino citizen , we are proud of its golden past. We had one of the oldest and richest civilization of the world. Today we not only need to be proud of our glorious past but also work to make our present and future better than our past .We need to make our self so capable that we can praise its present and this can be only done, when we work hard for it. And we can only work hard, if we have a feeling of patriotism & nationalism in our heart. Patriotism is a very deep and meaningful word, and its meaning changes according to the demand of time. During pre Independence time, Patriotism meant to get out of our houses and fight against foreign rule, whereas today a true patriot is that person who gives best of his services in the development, progress and upliftment of his nation as the best human resource.

    First, political freedom for the colonies meant breaking away from England and being able to develop a sense of identity and a sense of self-government. This was established in the first steps towards independence, by the writing of the Declaration of Independence, by Thomas Jefferson. After Congress revised Jefferson’s first drafts of the Declaration of Independence, it was finally approved on July 4, 1776, and now commonly known as Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence was not a promise to the colonists, nor was it an excuse for the fight against England to occur. The Declaration of Independence was a challenge and a risk with the colonists and the rest of the world. The challenge was to test the morality of the colonists, and to push them to their limit in their fight for independence.…

    July 5th, 1776 - Our continental congress has officially declared independence from Great Britain yesterday. It is with great sorrow as we read the document written by Thomas Jefferson, 33 years of age, yesterday. A frequent reader of this newspaper would know our strong anti-independence opinion. To elaborate, our protection was highly thought of as Great Britain has the most superior military of our world. Our own security has now been made vulnerable with this declaration. Our now independent country could be ambushed by the savage indians. The crown will no longer be able to give us weapons to defend. As the writer of this newspaper, it is with great fear that we may lose many lives as the colonies attempt to defeat our strong, powerful Britain.…
