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.
