How did Philippines gain there independence 

Supposedly, the Tydings-McDuffie act of 1934 will grant independence to the Philippines in 1945 but the Japs came and invaded Manila. After the defeat of Japan in 1945, the US has granted the Philippines Independence on July 4, 1946. Since then until 1962, Independence Day is celebrated by Filipinos on July 4. 

Holiday 

One of the most significant dates in the Philippine's history is Independence Day because it marks the nation's independence from the Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. Filipinos celebrate it annually on June 12.

There's nothing like classic Filipino favorites to kick off your Independence Day weekend. Get some lean center loin pork and leave it whole so it makes more of Filipino pulled pork. Put some soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lots of crushed garlic, and ground peppercorns.
