First Philippine Republic 106th Anniversary

Today, we observe the 106th anniversary of the First Philippine Rebpublic.

President Emilio F. Aguinaldo’s proclamation on January 23, 1899 establishing the Filipino Republic in Malolos, Bulacan, was the capstone of the Filipino people’s unrelenting struggle to cast off the colonial yoke and recover their freedom lost in 1571. January 23, 1899, is a historic date not only in the Philippines but also in Asia. The Filipino Republic set up on this date had the distinction of being the first republic in Asia and the Filipino people the first people to set up their own government free from foreign domination. This event also gave the peoples of colonial Asia a beacon of hope that someday they, too, would be free from foreign dominance. (source)
