Happy Independence Day!

Today we celebrate our country’s 110th Independence Day. More than a century has already passed since our forefathers fought against foreign oppression, tyranny and persecution. Blood sweat and tears were shed because they firmly believed in freedom.
Freedom – a word that has so much meaning in our nation’s history and yet sometimes, taken for granted by its people. In spite enjoying independence for the past 110 years we have continued to fight for freedom because we know that freedom will always be under attack. Not necessarily by foreign rule but by corruption, by dictatorship, by crab mentality, or by indifference to uphold what is good and what is right.
Our nation today continues to face various trials and challenges, but this shouldn’t bring us down or divide us. Instead let us start putting our petty differences aside and let us be united toward common goals. And let us all be thankful to God for the many blessings we have received as Filipinos, always bearing in mind we should always be hopeful, always be optimistic and always see the best and brighter side of being Pinoy!
To all my kababayans, Happy Independence Day! Mabuhay and Pilipinas!
