Philippines Independence day.
Magandang Umaga/Good Morning
My Name is Tennessee I am a year nine student in New Zealand. This week is an important day for a specific country... the Philippines. In the Philippines, today or tomorrow for them is an Interdependent day. My country celebrates it because there are a whole bunch of different cultures and races in my country so it's important to respect and celebrate their celebrated days and culture.
This week we are learning about the Philipino Lagrange. I find it important to know their language so It shows respect and If you ever travel the world it is important to get to know languages.
This is the Philipino flag
This is a famous philippine song I learned in my 5th year of school. This song is talking about a delicious crab.
Tong,Tong,Tong Pakitong-Kitong
Lyrics.
Alimango sa dagat
Malaki at masarap
Mahirap mahuli
Sapagkat nangangagat
Alamanga sa dagat
Malaka at masarap
Maharap mahala
Sapagkat nangangagat
Elemenge se deget
Meleke et meserep
Meherep mehele
Sepegket nengengeget
Ilimingi si digit
Miliki it misirip
Mihirip mihili
Sipigkit ningingigit
Olomongo so dogot
Moloko ot mosorop
Mohorop moholo
Sopogkot nongongogot
Sapagkat nangangagat

In 1896 the Philippine revolutionary began. By 1897 the revolutionary and the Spanish government signed a truce. The pack of Biak-na-Bato needed the Spanish pay the revolutionary $MXN8000,0000 and that the Aguinaldo and the rest of the leaders to go under exile In Hong Kong, April 1998 at the outbreak of the Spanish and American war. Committee Gorge Dewey set sail on the U.S.S Olympia sailed into Manila bay They led the Asiatic Squadron Of the navy. May 1st, 1898 United States defeated the Spanish In the battle Of Manila bay, The decision of Emilio Agauninaldo decided to return to The Philippines so he can help the American forces defeat the Spaniards. The U.S came upon an agreement that he can transport him back aboard the USS McCulloch. May 19th he arrived at his home of Cavite.
Independents day was proclaimed on June 12 1898 Between four to five in the afternoon to Cavite the astral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo 30 kilometers south of Manila. The event was the rolling out of the Philippine flag. Made in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncilio, Lorenza Agoncilio, and Delfina Herbosa. There was also a performance by Marcha Filipina Magdalo as the national anthem that was made by Julian Felipe and was played by a marching band.
The act of the declaration was written by Ambrosio Rianzrares Bautista in Spanish this piece of paper was signed by 98 people alongside them in the US army who were witnesses to this event. The final paragraph states that there was a stranger/foreigner who attended the proceedings. His name was Mr. Johnson who attended most of the proceedings and despite his military background, he had no reason or role to be in the Philippines.
The Philippine flag can come across different meanings depending on the way the flag is angled. The blue stripe on the philippine flag symbolizes justice and patriotism, red means valor and blood split for freedom and independence. The three stars represent the three main areas in the Philippines and the big star says independence and the eight rays on the star mean the eight provinces that led the Philippines uprising from the Spanish.
The Philippines normally on their Independence day do what most people do on a National Holiday. They can celebrate by celebrating festivals or cooking a giant feast with their national foods. They can eat chicken marinated with soy sauce and vinegar and all types of seasonings or cook a whole pig with rice. If they would like they can have chicken soup with leaves and vegetables.
