124th Independence Day celebration at the Aguinaldo shrine in Kaingen, Kawit, Cavite on June 12 — PHILIPPINE STAR/EDD GUMBANt had to be clarified in Memorandum 2022-066 dated May 22, 2022 by the Department of Interior and Local Government that directed the Independence Day flag-raising to local government units that it was the 124Independence Day, reckoning from June 12, 1898 when Emilio Aguinaldo declared from his residence balcony in Kawit, Cavite that Pilipinas was free from the colonizer...
When the Revolution was failing, “Aguinaldo entered into negotiations with the Spanish government. This resulted in an agreement under which Philippine Revolutionaries would go into exile in Hong Kong and surrender their arms in exchange for financial indemnities and pardons” . That was just about the time that Spain was very busy, besieged and embattled by the United States of America, who came in to assist in the war for Cuban independence from Spain.
“During the American occupation of the Philippines , the Filipinos were governed by the Commonwealth of the Philippines and earlier by the Government of the Philippine Islands or PI, both under the Americans” . Meantime, World War II broke out, and the Japanese Army overran all of the Philippines during the first half of 1942. “On Oct. 14, 1943, Japan symbolically granted independence to the Philippines by establishing a new government headed by its Filipino president, Jose P. Laurel.
“The independence of the Philippines — and the inauguration of its Third Republic — was marked by Manuel Roxas, third president of the Commonwealth, re-taking his oath, eliminating the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America which was required prior to independence, this time as the first President of the Republic of the Philippines.
