Last week, BAYAN-USA Northeast marched alongside the Northeast Coalition to Advance Genuine Democracy in the Philippines in the Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City.
Today on the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence Day, we commemorate the ongoing struggle for human rights, national sovereignty, and genuine development!
It is false to recognize the Philippines’ independence when the Marcos Jr. administration continues the legacy of government puppetry to imperialist nations like the United States and China, fostering deals to cement U.S. military presence in our homeland through the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, and doing nothing to stop China’s economic expansion through encroaching mining corporations in the countryside, and naval ships in the West Philippine Sea.
Instead, we celebrate the history of resistance created by our people, which has resulted in the defeat of Spain by the Katipunan, the ousting of the Marcos Sr. regime, and the persevering fight against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism by the national democratic movement. BAYAN-USA Northeast urges Filipinos across the region to join mobilizations and emphasize the demand for national industrialization and genuine agrarian reform, so that the Philippines may be free from foreign intervention and unfair economic and military agreements!
Atin ang Pinas! Magkaisa para sa karapatan, soberanya, at tunay na kaunlaran! Isulong ang pambansang demokrasya!
-- BAYAN USA Northeast, 12 Jun 2023

Philippines Independence Day
Tumblr media
The Philippines consist of over 7,000 separate islands within the western Pacific have declared their independence from the Spanish rule about 120 years ago. General Emilio Aguinaldo was accountable for making the claim but it was not until 1962 that President Diosdado Macapagal had made it one public holiday by the presidential proclamation. The Philippine flag was open up for its initial time on June 12 of 1898 at a rousing celebration, which also marked the first ever public playing of their Philippines national anthem. This nation has made the best strides. It is deemed to be a rising market and the newly industrialized country. The tourism also makes the big impact on the economy of the Philippines.
WHEN IS THE PHILIPPINES INDEPENDENCE DAY?
The Philippines is celebrating their independence every June 12 yearly.
PHILIPPINES INDEPENDENCE DAY HISTORY
For more than 300 years, Philippines had been a Spanish colony, and had been named after the King of Spain, King Philip II. In year 1521, Ferdinand Magellan set down on the island of the Philippines and the claimed it for the Spain. Magellan wished every local chief to propose to the Spanish rules but a man, named Lapu Lapu turned it down. An attempt was then made by Magellan for crushing Lapu Lapu, but then he failed and he was the one being killed.
Then when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi headed an expedition in year 1565, the Spaniards then finally gained the footing in the Philippines. Then, they built the Intramuros City in 1571, which had been later renamed as Manila, and turned out to be the capital of this land. Finally, Spanish rule had take over, and the feudal system was then established— with bigger estates hold by the Spaniards, and Filipinos being the workers. These Spanish years brought wealth to the Philippines, the rule remained uneventful. It changed when Manila was captured by British in year 1762. Under the Treaty of Paris terms signed in year 1763, this city was then returned in year 1764.
19th Century
The feelings of nationalism happened to stir in 19th Century. This revolt grew with the assistance of Dr. Jose Rizal, the author that wrote the two novels of “The Filibusterer” (El Filibusterismo), and “Touch me Not” (Noli Me Tangere). These books caused the nationalism and sensation that spread like wildfire all throughout the Philippines. During 1892, Jose Rizal established the movement named as Liga Filipina, which is known for reform instead of revolution. As an outcome Rizal was arrested, then exiled to Dapitan at Mindanao.
The same with this, a more intense organization was created by Andres Bonifacio, named as Katipunan. The revolution started in 1896 of August, and then Jose Rizal was accomplished on December 30, 1896 right under the deceit of supporting a revolution, although he did not. The execution merely inflamed the opinion of Filipinos and the revolution grew.
And then the war between U.S. and Spain started in 1898. This Spanish fleet was beaten in Manila Bay by the Americans on 30th of April, 1898. Seizing this chance, Filipino revolutionaries then surrounded Manila, and the leader Emilio Aguinaldo affirmed the Philippines as an independent one on June 12. But, the American rule had take over when Emilio Aguinaldo was arrested in 1902.
20th Century
During the Americans leadership, the Philippines had created the commonwealth, and the semi-independent in year 1935. Literacy rate increased also as numerous American teachers were send out to the Philippines. Then, USA promised that Philippines would be totally independent in year 1945.
On 10th of December, 1941, Japan attacked the Philippines, and then captured Manila. The entire Philippines were at hands of Japan during that time. In October, 1944, the American troops go back to the Philippines and then recaptured Manila. Then the Philippines became an independent state on July 4, 1946. Then, Manuel Roxas became the first ever president of a newly independent nation.
