The Price of The Filipino's Hardships

120 years had passed since the day when Philippines independence was proclaimed and also 120 years had passed back when the Filipinos are now free from pain, hardships, sacrificing, and maltreatment in the hands of the inhuman and ruthless Spaniards. This is the day where we commemorate the past, the cruel experience and also the bravery showed for our country just to attain the freedom that was taken from us for a very long time, the freedom we are now experiencing.

June 12, 1898 was the day where Emilio Aguinaldo declared the country's independence, the birth of the country Philippines with the right to be free not to be controlled by others. The journey to our freedom was a long and a hard one. Hard-earned by our countrymen and paid for with blood, sweat, and with their utmost act of selfless sacrifices. Even though we didn't  saw with our own eyes the suffering and lives that they offered, we should give importance and respect to what they have done. Respecting our fellow Filipinos is one of the best way to show our gratefulness to what they did. Also, we shouldn't have a colonial mentality where in we most support the products of other countries. We shouldn't put aside the things they did, instead we value all of it because of what they did we can do whatever we want without fear.

Independence day seems hard to define what it really means nowadays for most of the Filipinos. Before, this was the most awaited day for them, the day they desired the most. The day where they sacrificed a lot. I wish and hope that the day will come that every Filipino will use this freedom to make our country a better place than ever. We should not forget our past, our history, because of this past we are what we are today. We should use this memory as an inspiration to achieve and believe that we can face all the challenges in life with our head held up high and with the thought that we are Filipinos.
