Happy Independence Day for all Mexicans!  

thank you for sharing this important event in the history of mexico, stvasile. this is the first time that i have known about this. it is used to be said that mexico and the philippines are sister countries simply because, both countries had been under the rule of spain during those times of the conquistadores. thus, the kind of treatment that mexico got from the spaniards, the filipinos had their share at a much worse scenario. this is because the spaniards had learned from mexico that it is not good to educate the colonized people. for, just as mexico did, the people will eventually rise in arms in due time.
