~John G. Rienfnbaker

It's the 120th day since we are proclaimed independent or free, free from colonizers, free from conquerors and free from slavery of other nations.

Malaya? Tunay nga ba na malaya na tayong mga Pilipino, ano nga ba ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng INDEPENDENCE DAY sa ating mga Pilipino?

Here are the POV's of some of my co-writers here:

INDEPENDENCE DAY, It's something to tressure the Freedom that never more than one generation away from extinction. We can't pass it to our future generation through our bloodstream instead, It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Because as we celebrate the independence day considering that it's important as how God give us a freedom and set us free.

John 8:36— Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed.

Freedom does not come without a price.

Our Soldiers gave their lives for this country as a sacrifice that we may be able to celebrate freedom as a country.

Jesus Christ, our Risen Savior, paid the ultimate sacrifice in giving His life for the world. John 3:16— "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

Now that we have been truly liberated or set free from the bondage of sin, let us not again get ourselves twisted up or caught up in again, that which the price has been paid for to set us free, same as to our freedom that we enjoy today.

We celebrate Independence Day annually to commemorate the efforts and sacrifices made by our ancestors from the colonizers who mistreated natives on their homeland, to ensure the succeeding generations to live peacefully.

Defending against these colonizers is not an easy task since they are more superior, compared to our ancestors, in almost every way.

Although the day we celebrate Independence Day was intended for the breakthrough from the Spaniards after centuries of colonization, and not from the latter colonizers, we should not forget the reason why our ancestors sacrificed— for the betterment of our country and us, the future generation. These sacrifices should not be in vain.

Independence Day

Kalayaan, panahon na para palayain niyo ang isat-isa! Kung kayo, kayo talaga! hahaha jk

Para sakin tama lang na ginawang holiday yung Independence Day para may pahinga ang mga tao na nagta-trabaho man o hindi
hahaha

Pero seryoso na yung Independence Day dapat talaga nating ipagdiwang, dahil kito yung araw na lumaya tayo sa pagkakahawak o pagkontrol ng mga mananakop. Pag-saludo para sa mga bayani natin na nagbuwis ng buhay at may malaking ambag kung bakit natatamasa natin ngayon kung anong meron tayo, kahit wala na sila nanatiling buhay pa din ang mga ginawa nila para sa bansang ito.

On this day, our heroes cried blood just to free our country. And I hope it will and always be as it is, per se the state of our country. She bled and cried a lot of times, it is our time to protect her.

Independence Day, ang panahon na winagayway ni Emilio Aguinaldo ang bandila ng Pilipinas at nakamtam na ng ating bansa ang kalayaan. Nawa'y sana mapanatiling isang demokratikong bansa ang Pinas at liwas sa kamay ng mga banyaga.

Pananaw ko sa Independence Day:

Hindi ito totoo. Maaaring napalaya tayo sa ilalim ng mga Hapon, pero ginagamitan naman tayo ng America ng Neocolonialism, at hindi mo masasabing tunay na kalayaan iyon.

Ang tunay na malaya, hindi kailanman inaagawan ng karapatan, maging sa teritoryo man. Pero iba ito sa Sabah, Spratly Islands at sa Scarborough Shoal.

Kapag nagawa nating baklasin ang Neocolonialism at mabawi ang mga teritoryo natin, doon na tayo makakapag-celebrate ng totoong Independence Day,

~grandark

For me? Ang kalayaan ang siyang meron tayo ngayon, kung bakit tayo nabubuhay ng maalwan, kung bakit tayo nakakabuo ng sarili nating pamahalaan na hindi pinapakialaman ng bawat isa, ngunit kung tunay na malaya? Hindi pa tayo tunay na malaya sapagkat may mga Pilipino na nagpapakain sa sistemang banyaga, nabubuhay pa rin ang colonial mentality sa sa ibang mga Pilipino na syang patuloy na nagpapababa sa moral natin sa ibang lahi, nariyan at nahuhumaling tayo sa mga banyagang pelikula, kanta, mga artista, at kanilang mga produkto na halos dumating na sa oras na kung saan nakikipagtalo na ang iba kapag nabibigyan ng maling impresyon ang kanilang mga banyagang idolo. Malaya tayo sa pananakop, ngunit sa impluwensya ay hindi.

Bilang isang Pilipino tungkulin natin na palaguin at ipagmalaki ang ating sariling kultura, tradisyon, at pagkakakilanlan, sa huli ang sariling isip at desisyon lamang natin ang siyang makakapagpalaya sa atin.

Happy 120th Independence Day Filipinos!
