30 June - Philippine–Spanish Friendship Day in the Philippines
Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day or Spain-Philippines Friendship Day celebrates the strong ties between the Republic of the Philippines and the Kingdom of Spain.
One June 30, President Emilio Aguinaldo extolled the Spanish soldiers besieged in the church of Baler for their loyalty and chivalrous bravery. To honor this memorable episode, it is only fitting that the day be declared as a national holiday to commemorate the act of benevolence that laid the foundation for better relations between the Philippines and Spain.
The thirtieth day of June every year is hereby declared as the Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day to commemorate the cultural and historical ties, friendship and cooperation between the Philippines and Spain. It is therefore declared a special working holiday nationwide and a special non-working holiday in the province of Aurora.
According to Philippine Senator Edgardo Angara, main promoter of the Friendship Day, that June 30 was "a glorious day for both countries, because the siege of Baler produced heroes and victory for both sides". Today, this episode is the symbol of the great friendship between the two countries.
