The Day Philippines became a Free Country

          Independence, this is the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. For the Filipinos, we have this day called, Independence Day. This is the day when our ancestors gained their freedom to the people who invaded Philippines. This is the day when we became independent. So, why are Filipinos celebrate Independence Day?

          We celebrate Independence Day to recognize the doings and sacrifices of our heroic citizens. Our ancestors became victorious guarding our nation to those people who wanted to colonize the Philippines. Our heroes fought and sacrificed their lives to save and to give freedom to their fellow Filipinos. They showed bravery and kindness in helping their fellow citizens. We had a group of men called "Katipunan", they were the one who lead the Filipinos who saved and were ready to give their all to sacrifice  their selves in order to save their families. They became victorious and had won the battle. But still, many lives had been taken but it is worthy because they saved our nation.

          That is the day when we got our freedom and became independent. The day when our ancestors won and successfully defended our nation, it is now called Independence Day. Until now, we are still celebrating this important day because without the heroic citizens of Philippines, maybe this country had never became a "free country."
