On June 12, 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Philippines
flag for the first time and declared this date as Philippines
Independence Day. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, and
Delfina Herbosa designed the flag of the Philippines, which is
famous for its golden sun with eight rays. The rays symbolize the first
eight Philippine provinces that fought against Spanish colonial rule.
After General Aguinaldo raised the flag, the San Francisco de
Malabon marching band played the Philippines national anthem,
“Lupang Hinirang,” for the first time.

Spain, which had ruled the Philippines since 1565, didn’t
recognize General Aguinaldo’s declaration of independence. But
at the end of the Spanish-American War in May 1898, Spain
surrendered and gave the U.S. control of the Philippines.
In 1946, the American government wanted the Philippines to
become a U.S. state like Hawaii, but the Philippines became an
independent country. The U.S. granted sovereignty to the
Philippines on July 4, 1968, through the Treaty of Manila.
Filipinos originally celebrated Independence Day on July 4, the
same date as Independence Day in the U.S. In 1962, President
Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to June 12 to
commemorate the end of Spanish rule in the country.

The society was founded after the Filipino patriots learned that Dr.
Jose Rizal was captured and sentenced to death in Dapitan. Not a
mere doctor, Rizal is an author of two prominent novels detailing
the dark aspects of Spain’s colonial rule in the Philippines.
His novels made Filipinos hunger for more. While Rizal only
campaigned for equal treatment of Filipinos, not everyone was on
the same page as him.
Thus, Katipunan was founded. It filled the void that was not
satiated by the call for peaceful reforms which was left unheard,
unfortunately.
Katipunan is also known as KKK or “Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-
galangang Katipunan ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng̃ Bayan“. In English, it means

Established on July 7, 1892, in Manila, it is a

Philippines’ revolutionary society whose aim was
to free the nation from the Spanish regime
through revolution.
The members of the society were called
Katipuneros. An aspiring Katipunero has to go
through a rigorous initiation process before
becoming an official member of the society. In the
beginning, only males were allowed to enter the
society but, later on, females were welcomed as
well.

Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy QSC CCLH[f] (Spanish

pronunciation: [eˈmi.ljo a.ɣiˈnal.do]: March 22, 1869 –
February 6, 1964) was a Filipino revolutionary, statesman,
and military leader who is officially recognized as the first
and the youngest president of the Philippines (1899–1901)
and the first president of a constitutional republic in Asia.
He led Philippine forces first against Spain in the
Philippine Revolution (1896–1898), then in the Spanish–
American War (1898), and finally against the United States
during the Philippine–American War (1899–1901).

revolutionary leader, often called "The Father of the Philippine
Revolution", and considered one of the national heroes of the
Philippines.[2][3][4] He was one of the founders and later the
Kataas-taasang Pangulo (Supreme President, Presidente

Katipunan into a revolutionary government, with himself as

"Sovereign Tagalog Nation"), also "Republika ng
Katagaluguan" ("Tagalog Republic", Republica Tagala in
Spanish), wherein "Tagalog" referred to all those born in the
Philippine islands and not merely the Tagalog ethnic
group.Hence, some historians have argued that he should
be considered the "first President of the Philippines",
though he is not included in the current official line of
succession.

place in the Philippine Independence
Day History because this was where
Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the
independence day PH on June 12,
1898, gave his independence day
speech, and waved the Philippine flag
for the very first time. This was also

Manila has played a huge role in the June 12
independence day we have today because
this is the place where many battles have
been fought and the place where some of
the highest officials are based during the
Spanish rule. One of the most notable
places in Manila that reminds us of the war
is the Intramuros. While Luneta Park, also
known as Bagumbayan, was the place
where Dr. Jose Rizal was shot. So in case

. Laguna

We wouldn’t be celebrating a happy independence day if

not for the strong and brave Filipino warriors who have
fought against our colonizers. One of these people is
none other than Dr. Jose Rizal. He was born in Calamba,
Laguna and spent his early childhood there. In Laguna,
he learned a lot of things and grew up to be a bright
young boy thanks to his family, especially his mother
Teodora Alonso. The province has partly shaped the
young Rizal’s mind.
Fast forward to his adult life, Rizal
quickly emerged as a leading
Propagandist. His novels Noli Me
Tángere (Touch Me Not; 1887) and
El filibusterismo (The Reign of
Greed; 1891) exposed the
corruption of Manila Spanish
society and stimulated the
movement for independence.
These novels sparked the
revolution that led to the country’s
independence.
4. Rizal
Named after the Philippine hero, Rizal Province also has a
huge role in the Philippines’ independence. Andres Bonifacio,
along with seven comrades of the Katipunan who included
Emilio Jacinto, hiked the mountain and found the cave, which
was a suitable hideout and meeting place. There, they
recruited new members into the Katipunan, after which,
Bonifacio wrote the informal declaration of independence on
the cave’s wall.
On April 12, 1895, Bonifacio proclaimed Philippine
independence inside the Pamitinan Cave in Rodriguez, Rizal.
Bonifacio wrote “Viva la independencia Filipinas!” (Long live

The most significant achievement of Aguinaldo's
Dictatorial Government was the proclamation of
Philippine Independence in Kawit, Cavite, on June 12,
1898. The day was declared a national holiday.
Thousands of people from the provinces gathered in
Kawit to witness the historic event. The ceremony was
solemnly held at the balcony of General Emilio
Aguinaldo's residence. The military and civil officials of
the government were in attendance.
