Happy Independence Day

Here in the Philippines we do celebrate our Independence day every 12th of June. And I know this is a late greeting but like they say its better late than never. So Happy Independence day too all the Filipino around the world and even outside the world. Living in a country that is Independent is really a big luck for me. My dad used to said before that I have to be thankful that the country i live in is independent. Since my dad was a Seaman, he been to lots of places in the world were he saw the different between an independent country and other country that is not independent. Being independent is really a good privilege. We can make our own choice to everything. From clothes, food, movies and Tv series to watch. And we even have the privilege of expressing out own opinions. We all have to be thankful to all those poeple who risk there life and even give there life for our independence. And we always have the heart to continue what they started. Lets always have our eyes open and be observant. Always have the courage to voice out what we feel and always be alert. Lets always practice our privilege to voice out our opinion and fight for our rights and dont be afraid to do it.
Just like what happened last June 10, 2009 where lots of Filipino people, young and old get together to protest the con ass ( Constituent Assembly). Lots poeple get together to show there protest. That's one example of how to practice our independent. And with all of the issues we been having like the Cha - cha. Lots of Filipino who have a heart of patriot do fight there right and voice out ther opinion about it.
And if you will ask me about my opinon. Honestly i really dont like whats happening right now. I really dont like charter change to happened. I felt it will only give more problem and will only lead to a big violence in the future. I hope there will still be some ways other than the charter change. I can see lots of people are against the cha-cha but i dont see that government is listening. Now i am wondering what will happened if its amended. And how will it affect our future as an independent country.
I guess all we can do now is just always be consistent in voicing out our opinion about it. And always keep our eyes open ,specially to the poeple who kept on trying there best to drive away our focus. Always have a watchful eyes and always Be aware!!!
