La Patria (The Fatherland; Ang Bayan) was a poem composed by Gregorio Aguilera y Solís, one of Lipa's unsung poets in the Spanish language and a propagandist. He founded the revolutionary newspaper Columnas Volantes de la Federación Malaya which was printed in Lipa in 1899 but was seized by the American troops in 1900. Spanish was the principal language of the Philippines then before English. The propagandistas used Spanish in their fight for reforms and later the Primera República Filipina declared it as the official language. Many of the Filipino leaders continued to use it until World War II. If the Primera Republica survived the Filipino-American War and if the Hispano-Filipino culture was preserved, Spanish would have still been spoken today in the country and many of the present generation would appreciate our history (written in this language) and its usefulness in today's globalization.

The Inauguration of the Third Philippine Republic in Lipa. 75 years ago on July 4, 1946, the United States finally recognized Philippine Independence. Lipa, amidst the ruins of World War II, celebrated the occasion with the ceremonial lowering of the US flag and the raising of the Philippine flag at the Plaza Independencia. #philippineindependencerecognition #usphilippineties #usphilippinesfriendship #lipacity #lipahistory #plazaindependencia
