Happy Independence Day, Philippines!

History was not my favorite subject when I was still in elementary and high school.  How could it be when all the teachers taught us was what’s literally in the books.  If we just read it and they didn’t teach us we wouldn’t have known the difference.  But all of that changed when I was in college.  My teacher regaled us with stories about our heroes whohelped us achieve our independence that we have never heard before.  It was so interesting that I had no qualms going to the library to read books she recommended.  I never regretted the extra readings because boy, those stories were really exciting and awesome!

So I would like to dedicate this post to all the heroes and unsung heroes who helped our country regain its independence.  Hopefully, I can keep their memories alive by telling my children all the sacrifices they have done – so us, the younger generation don’t have to be the ones to do it.  We salute all our heroes!
