Independence Day, 2007 (109 years)

June 12, 2007: Celebrating 109 years of Philippine Independence. Spent a rather fruitful day at the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park and the immediate
vicinity. A government-sponsored historical parade at the Grandstand, a Job Fair and exhibits from different government agencies/departments
were set up throughout the park. But most important - there were FREE LRT rides and admissions to ALL park attractions the whole day! ;-D

To get you even MORE in a nationalistic mood, here is the broadcast media adaptation of the Philippine National Anthem 'Lupang Hinirang'
(read: "Chosen Land") to commemorate the Philippine Centennial 'Kalayaan' (freedom) theme (1898-1998) as submitted by MonBC in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRy18bp4njQ .
