The national flag was raised, the national anthem was sung, and the people celebrated their newfound freedom. Despite facing subsequent challenges and changes in colonial powers, the spirit of Philippine independence has endured. Today, Independence Day is marked with grand parades, flag-raising ceremonies, cultural performances, and various patriotic activities across the nation.
