Relevance
Nothing is more relevant to philippine history than the Declaration of Independence
from colonial rule. The declaration is of course that sole document that proves the
value filipinos place on their freedom. At present our independence has been
questioned especially in relation to our dealings with the united states which
colonized us for almost half a century and later recognized our independence in
1946 however it must be understood that the independence was attained in 1898 was
freedom that was fought for the lives of filipinos. The goal or objective of this
independence, is something that we might have failed to achieve and protect
properly.
