June 12, 2009 marked the 111th day of Independence for the Philippines.
There will be no class and work on that day to celebrate the freedom from foreign rule.
But, are we really free from foreigners? We even encourages tourism because of the income and businesses we get from them.
Is June 12 really our independence day? some say its July 4 (Fil-Am Friendship Day) or January 21 (Opening of Malolos Congresss.)
How can we show our being Filipinos? Patronize our products, use our own language...etc...
Here's the irony of it...we like imported products, we encourage our students to speak the foreign language, the government treat domestic helpers as heroes instead of giving them employment in our own country.
