Today is the celebration of Kalayaan 2012 (Philippine Independence Day 2012).
Is the essence of our country's independence really present in each one of us Filipinos? I wonder if the youth today even know how this country had come to its independence. And if they do, do they even care? That made me think, do I care?
I know some who wish that this country had stayed under America's government. They think that our country would have been more progressive and "independent" that way than how we are today under our own government. I would like to think the same.
Today, some people greet some others, "Happy Independence Day!" Yes, this country may be independent in a sense but to me, it is a slave of most. So, just for the heck of it, "Happy Independence Day, People of the Philippines!"
Okay, talk about patriotism and nationalism and all. Please do not judge me. Just saying.
Ciao! ♥
it's okay momma mina... at times, I can also think like that. Happy Independence Day!
