Today, we are celebrating the independence day of the Philippines. The history of the Philippines is quite complicated. It has intrigue, politics, conspiracy theory and argument. Historically, on the 12th of June, the Philippines is still under the influence of the Spaniards and the real independence was given on July 4, 1946 by the Americans. But the Filipinos doesn't want to be in the shadow of the Americans that is why they changed it to June 12. Well that is why it is fun here in the Philippines. Anyways, Happy Independence Day Pilipinas! #CTTO.
