Happy Independence Day

How was it?  Did you go and have a party the way the Americans celebrate the 4th of July?

Yes? You had friends over?  Drank really cold for-adults-only-beverage and had food to excess?
Americans love to have beer and they usually have a barbeque - grilling steaks, hamburgers, franks, or what have you?  Americans are fierce about their rights, and their freedom.

So, are we Filipinos less?
My father (+) was - is a soldier - and fought for Filipino freedom.
i hope his sacrifices have not been in vain.

No?  Ah so. you didnt even bother to celebrate.  you just appreciated the day off.

Did you at least think of our heroes? and i dont mean the OFWs.
No?  So what is June 12 to you?

are you lackadaisical about being a Filipino?  are you proud to be Filipino?
do you know what it is to be Filipino?

Do you watch Anniversary celebrations? or better, do you participate?

Celebrations are bonding events, and this is why celebrations must be made.
i hope that Presidents of countries, and even institutions, will NOT curtail celebrations
