No, i will never forget June 12. The day designated as the independence of my homeland. From what i am thinking, the Philippines is one of the most spoiled countries in the world, blessed with natural reserves, beautiful landscapes and hospitable people.
That are the traits most foreigners think. I think that way too by hearing what my foreign friends(some are my Serbian brothers as well). What they don't know is that, the Philippines has what Serbia suffers most. Corruption, pro-Western government and economic depression.
Well, i hoped that the independence day celebrations would mean something for the Filipinos back home. A true sense of nationalism in diversity. Surge of educational attainment. Modernization of the military. Expulsion of pro-western and colonial minded politicians and a true Free Philippines. A rising superpower although i may not live to see it rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of imperialism and American policy.
You won't hear this from a politically correct Filipino politician or Yellow media back home but to a few patriotic people that will do everything for their country's rising and not of a fall from grace.
