This is what I learned today, in Malaysia as we know Tunku Abdul Rahman is our Father of Independence and now I am sharing with you to the man that brought independence to the Philippine.
“From the balcony of his home in Kawit, Cavite, the revolutionary general, Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, made history 110 years ago when he proclaimed Philippine independence. The country thus became the first in Asia to declare independence from the colonial powers that then ruled this part of the world. Today nearby Trece Martires, Cavite’s capital, Aguinaldo is memorialized as the man on horse back, encircled by Philippine flags that are all up in lights by night.”
