Don’t follow the crowd; let the crowd follow you.” —Margaret Thatcher.

“Wear this and that, not this and those.” This common phrase, often heard in movies when a woman embarks on a journey beyond her home, reflects the societal expectations placed on women. However, beyond these scripted lines, women possess voices that resonate far beyond the constraints imposed by a loud, dismissive society.

As March unfolds, the global spotlight turns towards the celebration of Women’s Month—an occasion to reflect on achievements, challenges, and the ongoing pursuit of gender equality. Amidst the festivities, the vibrant diversity of women, spanning shades, sizes, races, and colors, continues to thrive. This celebration is not just a moment of festivity; it’s a clarion call to action.

In this year’s Women’s Month celebration, the spotlight is on the powerful essence of women. It’s a collective call for individuals, communities, governments, and organizations to recommit to the fight for gender equality and women’s rights. Let us discard outdated language like “manpower” and recognize that abilities are equal but diverse. Women often bring high levels of empathy, emotional intelligence, a strong sense of vision, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. They create opportunities for others to succeed, drive meaningful change, foster innovation, and contribute to more inclusive and equitable societies.

Unwavering determination defines women across decades and generations. With strength, resilience, determination, and courage, women showcase that anything is possible. Despite obstacles, they persevere, navigating changing circumstances with grace. Women stand united, fighting, inspiring, and supporting one another. Today, you cannot defeat a woman.

It has been 124 years since we declared ourselves free from the Spaniards, but today we only not commemorate the declaration of our independence, we also recognized the people who fought for it because if not for them, this day wouldn’t have been possible.

Sadly, it looks like that the Philippine Independence Day has been lost to being just a holiday. We are more pleased when this holiday falls on a weekday since classes and most office work are suspended. This day’s significance and meaning is slowly dying amongst us.  For years, the state of history in our education system has been diminishing slowly contributing to the lack of appreciation to such events.

Hopefully, someday we don’t take for granted what our forefathers fought for and we shouldn’t just understand what are we celebrating but also why we are celebrating the Independence Day.

See how our students commemorate the 124th Philippine Independence Day

“Ang pagiging malaya ay isang katangian ng pagiging makapangyarihan, May sariling kapasiyahan nang walang anumang pinagpangambahan, hindi nakasandig, umaasa o nakatali sa iba, matatag at taas noong ipinaglalaban ang pansariling kapakanan at kagalingan para sa lahat. Walang nangingibabaw o nakapangyayari sa iyong mga karapatang pantao. Hindi ka naghihinala, nangangamba, o maging natatakot man sa iyong kapwa sa sariling lipunan ginagalawan, at higit na nag-aalala sa uri ng iyong pamahalaan.”

Symbolism In The Poster:

Eagle – The National Philippine Bird, freedom, Courage, and strength.

Sun – life, energy, positivity, clarity, and confidence. It is also the style of the one in the national flag of the Philippines.

3 Stars – this symbolizes Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

You can notice in the poster there’s a lot of the color blue to symbolize peace, truth, and justice (this is also the meaning of the blue color in our national flag)

The right shows the past of our country. The one near the bottom shows Emilio Aguinaldo waving our national flag for the first time during the independence day celebration.

The left side shows how our country, the Philippines, has its own way of society in all types or kinds of fields. Showing how productive and progressing we are.

The top right shows Bayanihan, a house moving tradition in the Philippines. 

Bayanihan is derived from the word Bayan, which means “town”, “community” or “country”. Bayanihan literally means “being in the community”. Bayanihan culture derives from the meaning: “being helpful in the community, being one of those people who are working together to achieve a certain goal”.

Nakasanayan na nating mga Pilipino na ipagdiwang ang Araw ng Kalayaan tuwing ika-12 Hunyo. Tanda ito ng paghihirap, pagbubuwis at pagmamahal ng mga bayaning Pilipino na nakipaglaban para sa kalayaan ng ating bansa. Ngunit ang malaking tanong, dapat pa bang magdiwnag ng araw ng kalayaan o magluksa sa ating nararanasang pandemya sa kasalukuyan?

Maraming taon na ang nakalipas ng mapasailalim ang Pilipinas sa kamay ng mga dayuhan. Mga taga ibang bansa na walang alam kundi mang-agaw ng teritoryo. Bagamat mahirap, ngunit patuloy na namayagpag ang pagiging makabayan ng mga Pilipino na kilala sa pagiging matatapang at hindi sumusuko sa kahit na anong  laban. Mga bayaning nagbigay ng pag-asa para sa ating innag bayan.

Ang guhit na ito ay sumisimbolo sa mga bayani na nagbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan at mga mamayang Pilipinong nagkaisa para sa kaligtasan ng sambayanan.

Ngayon, hindi lingid sa kaalaman ng bawat isa ang sakit na COVID-19. Marami sa ating mga kababayan ang naghirap na tila’y inagawan ng kalayaan dahil sa isang iglap nagbago ang lahat. Nagkulong sa sariling tahanan, nawalan ng hanap-buhay at nawalan ng mahal sa buhay ngunit patuloy na lumaban. Sa kasalukuyan, maituturing natin na mga bayani ang ating mga frontliners na mas piniling magserbisyo at ibuwis ang kanilang buhay alang alang sa kaligtasan ng nakakarami. Ang pandemyang ito ay masasabing isang gera ngunit hindi makita ang kalaban.

At dahil sa ideyang iyon, ipinapahiwatig nating mga Pilipino na tayo ay hindi basta sumusukos sa laban sa halip ay patuloy na nagtutulungan upang makalaya sa pandemiya. Mahirap man ang sitwasyon ba ating kinahaharap ngunit pauloy pa din tayo sa pagbabayanihan at pagkakaisa. Pagkakaisa, isang simpleng salita ngunit naging susi natin sa nakaraan pati na din sa kasalukuyan.

We are celebrating an important event in the Philippines, the Independence day. This poster exhibits the unity, courage, loyalty, sacrifices, and the desire of our fellow Filipinos to bring peace into our country and prove to other nations that we can stand with our own feet.Instead of putting white dove (the one who carries our flag)  in there, we used Philippine Eagle to represent the wildness,braviness, and freedom of our country. Every profession,  every person, and everyone in here is uniting just to protect and fight for our safety in the country. No one will be left behind just like what we did when we achieved our freedom before.
