    The declaration of independence is one of the most important milestones in the Philippine history. The country was colonized by many nations for hundred of years. imagine achieving freedom finally after all the hardships you've been through. It is indeed priceless.

    Philippine Independence Day has been celebrated every June 12 since 1962. The original celebration used to be on July 4, but then President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to the way it is now in commemoration of Emilio Aguinaldo's declaration of independence from the Spaniards.

    In turn, July 4 was declared as Philippine Republic Day or American-Filipino Friendship Day, when a treaty was made declaring the freedom of the Philippines from the United Sates.

    The celebration of the Philippine Independence is from May 28 to June 12, where all government establishments, residences, and other public squares are encouraged to display the country's flag.

    As we enjoy the holiday, may we not forget its significance in our country's history. Before our heroes achieved our independence, they offered their talents and wits, and put their lives at risk. May we learn from them as citizens of the Philippines.

Another Ends, Another Comes

      https://medium.com/@sanjibroy360/learn-basic-html-css-at-a-glance-7e0d926f9323       Another quarter of learning is nearly coming to an end. With our current condition in consideration, I never actually thought that I could be able to retain something in my head, yet I did. I have learned a lot and on top of that, I have never felt stress answering my modules in ICT especially since it is purely about HTML. You just have to follow the guides written in the concept notes then you're good to go. The only downside when typing is that every HTML tag is very improtant and one mistake typing those affects the whole HTML file.       This Modular Learning really is testing us. Most of the time, laziness and procrastination just comes and we couldn't help but to fall for it. Nevertheless, we, students are trying, and we are hopeful that in the near future, we could all be going to school in a normal day just like we used to.
