Philippines Independence Week

Philippines Independence Week

Magandang Umaga everyone! this week is all about Philippines independence and history of how we gained freedom from the Spanish and U.S government.

Philippines Independence Day is always celebrated on June 12th, each year. Philippines Independence Day is a national holiday always celebrated in the Philippines, this day represents the day when the Philippines gained Independence. 

On Philippines Independence Day every year, there would be parades walking down the road wearing national Philippines clothes and we would also make Noche Buena's(Feast), Karaokes and more. What food dishes are normally eaten in the Philippines while celebrating a holiday? In the Philippines, we have a lot of original dishes such as Biko, Sinigang, Balut, Lechon, Halo-Halo and more. 

Here is a picture of the Philippines flag, the three stars symbolize the main islands called, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The blue stripe represents Peace, truth and justice, while the red stripe represents Patriotism and valour. When the Blue stripe is at the top it means Philippine is in Peace, If the red stripe is at the top it represents that the Philippines is at war.

There are three important K's which mean Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galangang and Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, in short KKK.

In English, it symbolizes "Supreme and Venerable Association of the Children of the Nation".
