There is a photo in our Official Gazette filed under Republic Day, which shows the American flag being lowered, as the Philippine Flag was being raised. It was the fourth of July, 1946, the day our independence was granted by the United States of America, our colonizer. As I write this, I am grappling for words to find another term that could take the place of “grant,” if only to ennoble that day.
What could be the statement, the subtle implication? The figurehead, that anthropomorphic shape at the prow, has many other names. These are: “titular,” “nonentity,” a “nominal head.” It could also be referred to as “stooge.” Documents state how Roxas had to take his oaths twice: first under the Commonwealth and later, as the first president of the Republic. In the first oath-taking he, as documented, delivered the following words: “Our appointment with destiny is upon us. In five weeks, we will be a free Republic. Our noble aspirations for nationhood long cherished and arduously contended for by our people, will be realized.
But we did not seem to care. At least for a few more years. It was good enough to be independent. That day seemed an emotional day for the Filipinos then. Note the military uniforms all around the stage. The terrible war had just ended some months back and we were already on our way to more freedom.
