The Magic of National Holidays in the Philippines

holidays in the Philippines. Every year, she looked forward to celebrating with her family
and friends.

Day. Liza learned in school that this day was special because it marked the country’s
freedom. She proudly sang the national anthem and watched the fireworks in the
evening.
