Araw ng mga Pambansang Bayani sa Pilipinas

Sa Pilipinas, ang Araw ng mga Pambansang Bayani ay ipinagdiriwang sa ika-apat na Linggo ng Agosto. Ang petsa ay mahalaga dahil kinikilala nito ang pagsisimula ng Himagsikang Pilipino. Ang orihinal na petsa para sa pista ay ika-30 ng Nobyembre dahil iyon ang araw ng kaarawan ni Andres Bonifacio. Sinasabing siya ang nanguna sa himagsikan. Kinalaunan, ang petsa ng pista ay pinalitan ng Agosto upang ang pagkilala ay maiukol sa lahat ng Pilipinong namatay para sa kalayaan ng kanilang bansa. Ang pista ay hinirang bilang pambansang araw kung kailan ang mga Pilipino ay kumukuha ng araw ng pahinga sa trabaho. Sapagkat ang Linggo ay isang araw kung kailan ang mga Pilipino ay wala talagang pasok sa trabaho, ang pambansang pista ay pumapatak sa susunod na Lunes.

Ang Araw ng mga Pambansang Bayani ay unang kinilala bilang isang pista noong 1931, bagaman ang araw ay umuugat sa taong 1908 kung kailan ang Batas sa Sedisyon ay pinawalang-bisa ng Estados Unidos. Ang ideya ay upang lumikha ng isang pista na hindi lamang pinaparangalan ang mga sikat na bayani ng kasarinlang Pilipino tulad ni Jose Rizal at Andres Bonifacio, ngunit pati rin ang mga hindi pinupuri at hindi kilalang bayani na namatay din para sa kalayaan ng bansa.

Ang simula ng Himagsikang Pilipino ay kilala bilang Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin o ang Sigaw ng Balintawak. Ito ang araw kung kailan ang lihim na lipunan ay gumawa ng desisyon na magrebelde laban sa pamahalaang kolonyal. Sa pamamagitan ng desisyong iyon, pinunit ng mga Pilipino ang kanilang mga sedula, tanda ng kalayaan ng kanilang bansa mula sa kolonyal na pamahalaan ng Kastila. Sa mga oras na ito rin itinatag ang isang rebeldeng pamahalaan. Ang pamahalaan ay nilikha pagkatapos ng pagpupunit ng mga sedula ngunit bago ang unang maliit na labanan ng himagsikan.

National Heroes' Day in the Philippines

In the Philippines, National Heroes' Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of August. The date is significant because it recognizes the start of the Philippine Revolution. The original date for the holiday was November 30 because that was the day of Andres Bonifacio's birthday. He is credited with spearheading the revolution. Later, the date of the holiday was changed to August so that tribute could be paid to all Filipinos who died for their country's freedom. The holiday is designated as a nationwide day off of work for Filipinos. Since Sunday is a day when Filipinos already are off work, the national holiday falls on the following Monday.

National Heroes' Day was first recognized as a holiday in 1931, although the day has its roots in 1908, when the Sedition Law was repealed by the U.S. The idea was to create a holiday that honored not only the well-known heroes of Filipino independence like Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, but also the unsung and unknown heroes who also died for the nation's independence.

The start of the Philippine Revolution is known as the Cry of Pugad Lawin or the Cry of Balintawak. This was the day a secret society made the decision to rebel against colonial rule. Upon that decision, Filipinos tore up their tax certificates, signifying their nation's independence from Spanish colonial rule. Around this time, an insurgent government was also set up. The government was created after the tearing of the tax certificates but before the first skirmish of the revolution.
