Philippine Independence Day, 12-Jun-2008

A BIRD’S EYE VIEW:

The biggest Philippine flag measuring 180 metres was unfurled yesterday at northern Baguio city’s Burnham Park, as the country marked its 110th year of independence from Spain. In Manila, President Gloria Arroyo assured people that the country had sufficient rice supplies and vowed to achieve self-sufficiency in the staple food in the coming years during her Independence Day address.
