A Century and Two Decades

A century and two decades ago since the Katipunan under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo fought against the Spaniards who colonized our country for more than three centuries. June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo proclaimed the Philippine Independence day, it is the time for us to reflect and compose ourselves what our heroes fought hard for our nation. Philippines may not be 'poverty-free', yet we are experiencing our own freedom to do something without someone pointing a gun in our heads. But some are asking, "Are we free?"

Some people may not agree or not satisfied enough to the freedom we have, but yes we are free enough compare to the Filipinos who are being colonized by Spaniards. We have the freedom from fear because we are fearlessly fighting even if it costs our lives to free ourselves from rebels. Marawi siege is the best example of fearless, unfazed,steadfast soldiers who are hoping that peace will reign in Mindanao. We are experiencing our autonomy for we have the freedom of speech, freedom to choose our religions and freedom of expression. But we should keep in mind our limitations in our freedom. Always remember our limitations, we are free to do everything we want but indeed we need to know where to extent our actions.

Today,we should commemorate Independence Day. We, millennials should not be blinded by the new technology let us open our eyes and minds to remember the heroic acts of our fellow Filipinos. We should be brave enough to speak up what is right. take our freedom as better chances. Be the hope of the future. Be a millennial hero!
