Isn't that July 4  in the Philippines is Fil-Am friendship day? As far
as I know our Independence day  is always June 12 .  My history
class never mentioned it was moved from any other date. Yes I do
observe Independence day back home. I  did always attend the
parade in honor  of the Philippine heroes and offer flowers after
the day's program.

Hi Peaches,

Yes, July 4 was always Philippine Independence Day until Gloria's daddy changed it in the 60's when he was president. I guess he thought July 4 was "too American".

Thanks for the info Ray. It's good to know. Maybe I was absent (
history class) at that time when they discuss  about Indepence day.
