                    [Title] => Independence Day, a postscript
                    [Summary] => So that was Independence Day - June 12, Monday - and just one of those days to many of us. Except for the simple parade and simpler program, the day could have passed by like an ordinary one. Classes were off, of course, and workers had no work. That's why the malls got jampacked and the beaches were filled with frolickers.


Alas, freedom day has become simply a day of fun, a time to laze around with nary a happening. Years ago it used to be a day of intense patriotic experience, of a sense of unity and nationhood.

What has happened to the Filipino?
