Thanks to the #KKK the #Philippines gained its independence from Spain—after more than 300 years of oppression.
Today marks the 127th #Independence of the #Filipino nation.

A unique earthquake detection system: a blend of collaborative work from eyewitnesses and of data collection from seismic institutes. You felt an earthquake and want to add or see testimonies on a specific seismic event? Do you want to know if there are any earthquakes near you, or see the worldwide earthquakes in the last 24 hours?
Thank you to the heroes of the #KKK we gained our independence from Western invaders, in particular from Spain who treated us as less than human for 300 years.
Mabuhay ang #Katipunan! Long-lived KKK!
Happy 125th Independence from Spain my beloved Nation, the Philippines!
(Which ironically, we're still using the name they gave us.)
For today's independence post, let's talk a bit about General Pío del Pilar.
The attached image is the KKK (Katipunan) flag used by General Pío del Pilar, the namesake of barangay Pio del Pilar, #Makati City.
His flag was called “Bandila ng Matagumpay” (en: “Flag of the Triumphants”) and was first used on July 11, 1895. (And his KKK faction was called “Matagumpay” (en: “Triumphants”)
Pío del Pilar was a force to reckoned with. He liberated , defended, and participated in many battles against the Spaniards. Some of these places we know today as Mandaluyong City, Las Piñas City, the Municipality of Pateros, Taguig, the province of Nueva Ecija, parts of Cavite province, and Calamba City (in the province of Laguna), to mention a few. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ADo_del_Pilar )
Fun facts:
* General Pío del Pilar was born in Barrio Culi-culi, San Pedro de Macati.
* Barrio Culi-culi is today's barangays Pio del Pilar and Bangkal.
* While San Pedro de Macati is now Makati City.
* His father was a farmer from Pasay City (one of the oldest cities in the country, and itself was a “kingdom” in pre-colonial times, named after Dayang-dayang (princess) Pasay, daughter of Rajah Sulayman of the “kingdom” of Maynila).
* And his mother was an embroider from Mandaluyong City.

A friendly reminder… if you are an #American and you are in the #Philippines (or online for that matter), you might see #KKK around. KKK in the Philippines was a revolutionary group who fought #Spain for our #independence.
