           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings: 

          1.General Emilio Aguinaldo read the Act of Declaration of 
            Independence on June 12, 1898, proclaiming the 
            sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands 
            from Spain, after United States and Filipino 
            revolutionary forces defeated Spain at the Battle of 
            Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. 

          2.The declaration was not recognized by the United States 
            or Spain until the signing of the Treaty of Manila on 
            July 4, 1946; and, for nearly two decades, July 4 was 
            observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until 
            President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Republic Act No. 
            4166 designating the country's Independence Day as June 
            12. 

          3.As years went on, Filipino Americans became very involved 
            in the community and made numerous contributions in all 
            aspects of American society and culture, especially in 
            California; and, many Filipino Americans have served with 
            distinction in the United States Armed Forces for over a 
            century and have sacrificed their lives in many wars, 
            including World War II.
