Kasama ng sambayanang Pilipino ay ginunita ng search giant na Google ang Araw ng Kalayaan ngayong Sabado.
Sa kanyang Doodle ngayong araw ay makikita ang bandila ng Pilipinas.
“On this day in 1898, a public reading of the Philippine Declaration of Independence in Cavite el Viejo (modern-day Kawit) proclaimed the archipelago a sovereign nation,” ayon sa Google.
“Today’s Doodle commemorates this historic anniversary, celebrated annually as Philippines Independence Day,” dagdag nito.
Sinabi nito na ang “rebolusyonaryong pangyayari ay sinundan ng unang pampublikong pagkanta ng ‘Lupang Hinirang’, ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, kasabay ng unang pagtaas ng pambansang watawat ng Pilipinas.”
“Filled with symbolic meaning, all of the flag’s colors stand for a unique element of Philippine pride. Blue represents the peace and justice earned from Philippine leaders’ heroic sacrifice, red signifies their courage and bravery, and the white triangle symbolizes unity and equality,” ayon sa Google.
“Emblazoned on the far left of the flag glistens a symbol of freedom, a radiant sun with eight rays shining out of its center. Each ray symbolizes the first eight Philippine provinces to seek independence: Nueva Ecija, Manila, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Bataan. In the corners of the flag’s white triangles are three stars that represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the three main regions of the Philippines,” paliwanag pa nito.
“Happy Independence Day, Philippines!”
