Yesterday, June 12, 2012, marked the 114th Philippine Independence Day. I never really had a chance to celebrate this important and historical event but for this year, along with Cultural Center of the Phils. (CCP), National Historical Commission of the Phils. (NHCP), and ABS-CBN, I was able to be part of the production team for Kalayaan 2012.
The theme of the celebration this year - KALAYAAN: PANANAGUTAN NG BAYAN PARA SA TUWID NA DAAN - shall focus on the vision of our President Benigno S. Aquino III for a nation of sovereign people. It shall stress the accountability and responsibility of the citizenry as embodied in the Constitution.
The flow of activities at Quirino Grandstand were divided into three parts, patterned to the three main islands of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
