Sa mahalagang araw na ito, ibinabalik-alaala nating mga Pilipino ang Araw ng Kasarinlan ng ating bansa. Noong ika-12 ng Hunyo sa taong 1898, kumalas tayo nang buong layunin mula sa mga nagnakaw ng ating kalayaan matapos ang napakahaba’t magulong panahon. Ngunit, anupaman ang kalagayan ng ating bayan ngayon, anupaman ang mga suliraning ating dinaranas, tayo ay malaya, tayo ay Pilipino.
Nagagalak naman akong ipag-alam na ang Google, na siyang pinakamalaking search engine sa kasalukuyan, ay nakipagdiriwang sa atin ngayon. Sa pamamagitan ng Google Doodles, naipararating ng Google sa buong mundo ang halaga’t diwa ng ating kasarinlan at dangal bilang Pilipino.
Heto po ang isang magandang paliwanag mula sa kababayan ko’t kapwa blogger na si Andrew dela Serna, ukol sa Google Doodles.
Mabuhay ang Pilipino! Isulong ang ating Kalayaan! Pugsain ang anumang balakid sa ating Kapayapaan!
Likes the cool Google Doodles! Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino, at sana mabuhay pa ang Pilipinas at di na lubusang kainin ng korupt nating gobyerno!
it’s the flip guys in google asia who designed the doodle. it’s not really that big of a deal since it’s just .com.ph; only flips type in .com.ph and can see the doodle, the rest of the world doesn’t really care about phil’s freedom day.
It would seem there’s no love lost between you and Filipinos. Not our loss, believe me.
You got a point, logically speaking – as a Vulcan would say. But you don’t need to call people who use google.com.ph “flips”. There is also an advantage in using a country-based Google search, in this case, priority is given to sites ending with .ph as compared to using the global search google.com.
It is also a big deal in marketing and business perspective. They’re doing a business and they’re in a competition, for them to create a Philippine Google Search and to even have a presence in our country, only shows that they see and recognize the market here and the value of the Philippine cyberspace. If we’re nothing, if it isn’t a big deal at all, they wouldn’t be here and they wouldn’t bother with that doodle. Since they did that, more people will/may use Google instead of Yahoo and MSN.
Finally, one of the reason our Independence Day was moved to June 12 from July 4, even though the past Philippine government was very much aware of the issues it will create, is because we will not be noticed by anyone outside our country. If our Independence Day stayed as July 4, we will be in the shadows of the US, and as Filipinos we are too much into “symbolism”, so “in the shadows of the US” is not a good thing for our Nation.
Now it’s June 12, suddenly people outside of our country are aware of that “little” country in the Orient who are celebrating their Independence Day from Spain or as a symbolism, “from Colonialism”. That “little” country that produced one of the bravest and fiercest army (and revolutionaries) in the world. That “little” country with the best Banana, Mango, Pineapple, etc. in the world. That “little” country with the world’s largest Pineapple and the world’s smallest fish. That “little” country where the idea of “ASEAN” actually originated (which came from the old “MAPHILINDO” which was also an idea by that “little” country).
That “little” country was the first in Nationalist Revolutions in Asia. You don’t want to ignore that “little” country, you keep that “little” country by your side, especially now that as “Nation” they are widespread.
@tabs
Phil’s freedom day? Who the heck is Phil? And is freedom day like coming out of the closet day?
By the way, can you tell us your nationality? Kind of hard to make disparaging remarks about you and your ilk.
Thanks to Google for the doodle.
:rofl:
(lol) are you nuts? we are just appreciating our country’s independence. suya ra ata ka.haha
@tabs – Well, zip your mouth. If you’re one of the guys who doesn’t really care then why leave a comment here? Use your logic.
@tabs – GTFO!
Eto’ng sa ‘yo!

happy independence day! :)
The Philippine Independence Day is for Filipinos. Makes sense to me if only the google.com.ph has the doodle, the fact is, Google.com ALSO Celebrated with US, that alone should be more than enough to let the Filipinos know that Google.com also recognizes and values the Filipino Nation.
Maligayang Araw ng Kasarinlan!~
tabs, you’re such a Douche Bag….ahahaha. Don’t feed the troll people.
@tabs hahaha. bitter much?
Brader!
Tagalog na tagalog! Istatchu? heheheh
@Tabs tabs tabs!
inggit ka lang! wahahahhahaha
Nanibago ka ba sa pananagalog ko, brader? Ang katunayan, Tagalog talaga ang pinanggalingan ko: ang ina ko’y taga-Makati, at ang tatay ng ama ko nama’y tubong Nueva Ecija. Pero siempre, dito sa Dabaw, Davao Tagalog FTW!
Hayaan na ‘yan si tabs. Mabuti na nga’t nagkaroon tayo ng comic relief, ‘ika nga.
