Independence Day for the Americans are generally boisterous affairs, with barbeques - and playing all-American games (or watching, that is), and fireworks, a family-with friends celebration...
Here in the Phiilippines, how do we celebrate our independence day?
or in fact, do we?
Most Pinoys appreciate the day off, but most do nothing to celebrate it
does this mean we value our freedom less? do we actually have freedom?
do we know what freedom means?
or have we been forever crushed under the bad economic times that we fail to celebrate
when my father was alive, he would of course be busy during these times as he was an Army Officer, being a PMA graduate..... but i cannot remember if we did celebrate
Celebrations that i remember usually cluster around religious times (Christmas, New Year, Easter) and family related events (birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, house birthdays) -
but Independence Day in the Philippines? dont remember much.
i remember celebrations in the US, with my friends .....
