Philippine Independence Day


The celebration of Philippine Independece Day every 12th of July follows American tradition.

Though America was declared independent by England, such day of declaration is not the recognized date of America's Independence Day. The people of America celebrate its independece every July 4th - the day the Americans declared their independence from England.

Besides, celebrating Philippine Independence Day on July 4 is overshadowed by American Independece Day. As such, July 4 is the Thanksgiving Day in the Philippines for the good deed done by the Americans.
