Google Dooles 12.06.2023 01:45  Date: June 12, 2023 Today’s annual Doodle celebrates Philippines Independence Day 2023! This national holiday commemorates the freedom of the Philippines and its people. On this day in 1898, Filipino leader Emilio Aguinaldo declared independence from Spain after more than 300 years of rule. After a long but necessary fight for independence, Aguinaldo and 98 other Filipino officials signed the 21-page Acta de la Proclamacion de la Independencia del Pueblo Filipino in Cavite. Moments later, the Philippines national flag was unfurled and raised for the first time in history. On Independence Day, Filipinos gather with loved ones and enjoy a day off from work and school. In Manila and Cavite, major ceremonies are held to commemorate the occasion. These observances include a 21-gun salute, public speeches from government officials, and parades with colorful floats decorated with the blue, white, red, and yellow national flag.
