History must never be forgotten because we can never get what we have now without it. The past will determine our future.
In every 12 of June we are celebrating our Independence Day, the day we received our freedom through the braveness of our hero Filipinos. This year the theme is, " Kalayaan 2019: Pagbabagong Ipinaglaban Alay sa Masaganang Kinabukasan."
It's a shame that we are enjoying freedom without knowing who sacrificed on this. So who are the them?
Jose Rizal, he wrote 2 novels – Noli Me Tangere, El Filibusterismo. That opened the eyes of the Filipinos
to fight their rights, to do something to stop the cruelty.
Andres Bonifacio,the leader of a secret organization called K.K.K aimed to overthrow Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines.
Marcelo Del Pilar, who established the Dyaryong Tagalog which published criticism on the way the Spaniards ran the government and treated it's people.
Tandang Sora, Lapu- Lapu, Francisco Baltazar. These are only fewe people who gave their lives for our Country.
Our Country would not be like this today if these people didn't put their lives in line. So what must we do?, give importance to what we have – the freedom to use it wisely, we must always know our limitation and we must always remember the people who suffered.
Just what Elias said in Noli Me Tangere, “ Mamamatay
akong hindi nasisilayan ang pagbubukang-liwayway sa aking bayan, Kayong makakakita, batiin ninyo siya at huwag kalimutan ang mga taong nabulid sa dilim ng gabi.” - Noli me tangere , Elias talking to Ibarra …
