FORT SANTIAGO at ang Diwa ng Kasarinlan | Intramuros VLOGS #history #vlog #independenceday #travel

Fort Santiago reflects nearly 450 years of Philippine history—from the pre-colonial kingdom of Maynila, through Spanish, British, American, and Japanese rule, to the country's struggle for independence and remembrance. It is both a military monument and a memorial to those who fought and suffered for Philippine freedom. History teaches us the value of freedom. It is important to remember the sacrifices and struggles of the Filipino people then, but it is also important to move forward and forgive and to be at peace now. NOTE: Getting there, from my location Cubao, take Lrt 2 end of line Recto. Then alight from the station, take the Pier 15 jeepneys/e-jeep or bus. Fare on regular jeepney s 13 and e-jeep is 15. Drop off point would be Manila Cathedral. #historyfacts #fortsantiago #video #youtube #life #walkthrough #hero #independenceday
