PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE: Liberal President Senator Mar Roxas is framed by a Philippine flag as he delivers a brief speech after the flag-raising ceremonies held at the grounds of the Cebu City hall during the 111th Anniversary of the Philippine Independence on Friday, 12 June. Roxas urged Cebuanos to remain vigilant and be on the look-out for abusive government actions that threaten to destroy the freedoms that our forefathers fought for more than a century ago. He vowed to fight the illegal con-ASSwangn railroaded by Malacanang allies at the House of Representatives, saying such unconstitutional act constituted a "rape" of the Constitution.
