Is that like Waitangi (nz day) this is the day where to nations signed a treaty to live as one people? ok, i had to read a little bit about what Waitangi day is.
Our independence day is a bit more controversial than that, as our country has been perpetually under colonial rule since the 1521 when we were claimed under Spanish rule during the era of European world exploration. After which we were occupied by the US, then a brief Japanese occupation in WWII, then US again, until we were granted democratic independent rule. June 12 was made the official day as it corresponded to the date when the first president Emilio Aguinaldo signed an official decree proclaiming independence for the very first time in 1898. This was the day when the national anthem and flag were used. All this happened at the same time when Spain ceded the country to the US, and we eventually became a US commonwealth by the 30's in preparation for independent rule. When WWII came along, we were under Japanese occupation for a couple of years. We later were reclaimed by the US until July 4, 1946 after WWII, when the US signed the treaty which resulted in international recognition of our being an independent republic. This was done to correspond to their own independence date. June 12 was made the official Philippine Independence Day around the 60's to signify the original decree and declaration of our inherent right to be our own people and nation. July 4 was eventually recognized as Philippine-American Friendship Day or Republic day instead, to signify the historic and politico-diplomatic relations between the two countries. And that's that Annieroo, as simple and short as i can make it
Thanks for your interest and for asking
