Philippines Independents Day

Philippines Independence Day        By Jaren




Magandang Umaga/Hello

Today we are going to talk about the Philippines independence Day.
Philippines Independence Day is a national holiday for the Philippines that happens every year on June 12th when they celebrate the declaration from Spain.

They eat Chicken Adobo, Spicy Beef Stew and Leche Flan. The reason why it starts on June 12th is that it was the day when they marked the independence from the Spanish rule in 1898. The activity they do in Philippine independence day is visit museums, do cultural plays and concerts.
