Dependence or Independence?
June 14, 2007
There was once a Filipino pupil who attended his History class and was asked for the date of Philippine Independence and he got confused on the meaning of independence for he knew that there were many independence days in the Philippines . Good, because the situation made him think. The same boy grew up and entered college and was again asked the same question in his Philippine History course. There was really a great change in his response. He no longer questioned the dates but he wittingly answered, “ It depends upon the will of the President.”
