This event is held every June 12 of every year. Filipinos all across the country gather and attend events to celebrate it. For this year's celebration, the day started with a flag raising ceremony represented by the Vice President.

It was followed by a series of parades featuring different places in the Philippines, community fairs with seminars, and performances from local groups. It is also a great time for movements or groups of people to urge protests for a greater sense of nationalism.

The day ended with a compelling appearance of the cast of the movie 'Goyo', a movie about Gregorio Del Pilar, a historical figure. He is a very young general who fought and died for the country. They surprised the people with a parade and a showcase.
