This beautiful piece commemorates all the Filipino heroes who lived and
died for our nation. Among these heroes are: Andres Bonifacio, Melchora
Aquino, Jose Rizal, Antonio Luna, Emilio Jacinto, Emilio Aguinaldo.

Filipinos where the are celebrating with the flag of

the Philippines in their hands proudly waving it
with the filipino heroes to show unity and joy of
being tpgether as a nation.
*This art also depicts the traditional clothing of
the Filipinos to respect our ancestors and the
culture of the hand-made clothing.
*To honor the people who sacrifices for our
country
When we reflect on the past of our country, we
frequently remember the martyred martyr Illustrado
who helped establish the Philippine Nation identity
and sparked the ideological foundation of the
revolutionary movement KATAASTAASA,
KAGALANGGALANGANG, KATIPUNAN ng mga anak
ng bayan (KKK).

If we examine more closely at what motivates them

to be heroes, we can see that they are all tied to the
same cause. They were inspired to continue the
heroic deeds for which they are renowned by their
deep love for the country and strong sense of the
common good.
Because of these heroes, our generation had the best time.
Not really a perfect life, but at least far from the past, or even
centuries ago, were sword and pistol fights . The most
patriotic act we even occasionally forget to perform these
days is to stop what we are doing and come to a complete
stop once we hear the national anthem.
