Happy Independence Day!

We celebrate this holiday year after year. But do we give any meaning to it?

For office workers, it may be a celebration for being paid without going to work. For businessmen, it may come out as an annoyance -- having the obligation to pay the employees even if they didn't do any work (scenario above). And for a teenager like me, well, I honestly didn't bother thinking about it until now.
That's just reality -- year after year -- Most of us, if not all, just don't care.

We may not realize this but Independence day means celebrating the fact that the Filipino people were courageous enough to risk their lives, abandon their families, forget their dreams and all for the sake of giving this land, independence.

And here we are showing the world that 'we just don't care'. There's nothing we can do, right? It's all in the past, anyway. Wrong! We can always do something. Why not offer up a prayer of gratitude?
It's the least that you and I can do to show that we deserve our independence.
