    December 30- every year on December 30, we celebrate
    Rizal Day, which is his death anniversary. When he came
    back to the Philippines, he has re-arrested by the Spaniards
    because of his alleged involvement with the series of revolts
    that broke out in 1896, historically referred to as the
    Philippine Revolution. The observance of Rizal Day goes
    back to the decree issued by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo on
    December 20, 1898 declaring Dec. 30 as the anniversary of
    Jose Rizal’s death. It is also decreed “a national day of
    mourning “for Rizal and other victims of Spanish dominion
    throughout its three-century rule.
    5
    At the same time, Gen. Aguinaldo issued a directive that all
    national flag shall be hoisted at half-mast from 12:00 noon
    on December 29, and all offices of the government shall be
    closed the whole day on December 30 as a sign of mourning.

    Filipinos thank him for his heroic attitude in fighting for
    our country’s independence during the Filipino-Spanish
    war. A Filipino nationalist and revolutionary, Andres
    Bonifacio, was the founder and leader of the Katipunan
    movement, which sought the independence of the
    Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the
    Philippine Revolution.

    day has been declared to be August 26. This date was
    chosen as it marked the day when the Cry of Pugad Lawin
    occurred in 1896, thus initiating the start of the Philippine
    revolution against Spain.

    ◈ Independence Day was officially observed on July 4 until
    RA 4166, which was approved on August 4, 1964, set out
    to move the holiday to June 12. This Act legalized the
    holiday, which is based on the Declaration of
    Independence on June 12, 1898 by Gen. Emilio
    Aguinaldo and Filipino revolutionary forces from the
    Spanish colonization.
