The most significant achievement of Aguinaldo’s Dictatorial Government was the proclamation of Philippine Independence in Kawit, Cavite, on June 12 1898. After over 300 years of Spanish rule, the Philippines was finally granted its freedom. The Filipino flag was unfurled for the first time on that day at an inspiring celebration, which also featured the first public playing of the Philippines national anthem. The declaration of Philippine Independence also paved way for acquiring sovereignty. We must therefore do all possible means to conserve and develop our patrimony, without resorting to war. Let’s hear it from some of our employees.
