The 128th anniversary of the proclamation of Philippine independence is set to be celebrated simultaneously in various sites throughout the country.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will lead the flag raising and wreath laying ceremony in the Jose Rizal National Monument in Rizal Park Luneta, Manila. He will be accompanied by NHCP Chair Regalado Trota Jose, Jr., top government officials, and members of the diplomatic corps. This will be followed by the Parada ng Kalayaan at the Quirino Grandstand.

Meanwhile, similar ceremonies will be held in the following sites:
• Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine, Kawit, Cavite with Governor Francisco Gabriel "Abeng" Remulla as guest of honor
• Andres Bonifacio National Monument, Caloocan City with Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rexlon "Rex" Gatchalian as guest of honor

• Mausoleo de los Veteranos de la Revolucion, Manila with National Defense Undersecretary Ireneo Espino as guest of honor

In addition, local government units and Philippine embassies, consulates and diplomatic missions are encouraged to hold ceremonies and activities to celebrate Independence Day.

It has been 128 years since the Filipino revolutionary government led by President Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed our nation’s independence from Spanish rule in Kawit, Cavite in 1898. Independence Day was celebrated until 1901 when the First Philippine Republic ended. After our independence was recognized internationally, it was celebrated on 4 July from 1946 until 1964 when Republic Act No. 4166 restored June 12 as Independence Day.

💫 Everyone has the right to choose independence and operate separately from the organization—that is not the issue. But with delicadeza, when you declare independence, you also return what does not belong to you. Including the NAME.

True independence means building your own identity—your own name, logo, structure, and legacy. There is no originality in clinging to the credibility, history, and recognition built by those who started from scratch. Don't be a second-hand, try-hard copycat with no originality of your own.

If you want to be independent, have the self-respect to create something original. That's not just professionalism—it's honor.

Respect the founders. Respect the sacrifice. Respect the hands that built it. Create your own NAME. LasDamas DeRizal Doha
