00:00More than a century has passed since the Philippines left Spain,
00:10but Japan and America also joined us.
00:13It was in 1946 that the Philippines regained its freedom after World War II.

01:33for the victory of the Battle of Pinaglabanan.
01:36The Philippines declared its independence in Kawitkawite on June 12, 1898.
01:42We asked some Filipinos,
01:44how can you say that you are truly free?
01:47The answer of an online fan is that there is freedom
01:50when we can move without fear in the places that we call our own.
01:55Freedom from corruption and poverty, said some.
01:59Many mentioned freedom from debt.
02:02Kyle is now free from studying hard.
02:05I'm about to be free from school.
02:08A netizen said that there is no freedom until many are hungry and the Filipinos are abused.
02:14And another said that this is when you don't think about what others will say.
02:19You can also see the development of yourself here.
02:22There is a saying that there is freedom when you don't get sick even if you meet it.
02:27As for RM,
02:29I am free.
02:30Free from?
02:31From the problems in life, from the problems in education.
02:35Free from?

02:49I moved on.
02:51While others say that although they can say that they are more free to express their feelings,

03:04It's better to be free in a sense that it's legally protected.
