In 1998, the Philippines celebrated its centenary year as an independent
nation. In 1999, we celebrate one hundred years of the Philippine Republic,
the first constitutional democracy in Asia.
We celebrate nearly four centuries of struggle for nationhood
culminating in the Philippine Revolution of 1896, the Filipino
Declaration of Independence on June 12, 1898, and the
January 23, 1899 birth of the Philippine Republic.
We enjoin all to rekindle the Filipinos spirit
by looking back at the proudest moments in Philippine
history, reliving the crisis moments
of the republic before falling under the yoke of new conquerors.
Traverse the road map of
century-old events that led to the events of 1898 and 1899.
Experience the agitation that
led to the revolution.
Relive the first shots
of the revolt that aroused the passions of the Filipino people.
Let us cherish the finest moments of the Filipino!
Let the Filipino Spirit kindled by the Philippine Centennial
burn in our hearts!
Viva the Philippine Republic! Viva the Filipino!
