With strong patriotic fervour and festivities, Filipino expats across the UAE will commemorate the 120th Philippine Independence Day throughout the month.
Commencing the celebration is a simultaneous raising of the Philippine flag at the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate in Dubai on Tuesday, marking the 120th year of Filipinos declaring their independence from 333 years of Spanish colonial rule. It became the first ever republic to be in all of Asia, in 1898.
"Since it's a working day, a simple celebration at the Philippine Independence Day will consist of a flag-raising ceremony followed by a short programme at the consulate's Rizal Hall in Dubai," said Philippine Consul-General Paul Raymund Cortes.
A grander celebration will be held on Friday at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Zabeel Hall 1) under the theme 'Independence 2018: Change We Fought For, An Offering To An Abundant Future.'
"Often, during our National Day events, overseas Filipinos are asked to take stock of what we have achieved as a people after 120 years since the nation's birth, and what we envision our next generation to be. We are tasked to visualise where we are and what we hope to be. Such introspection allows us to contemplate more deeply into the core of our psyché. It helps us identify what needs to be worked on, allowing us to continuously move forward in an increasingly competitive society," Cortes said in a message to Khaleej Times.
