Congratulations to all our friends in the Philippines on Independence Day! Independence from colonial rule is a good thing, especially when the national currency is not tied to the US dollar. And while most countries in the world are considered independent as long as the dollar rules, it is hard to accept that we are independent of the US. The USSR was independent from the dollar until 1991 and then on 12.06.1991 we became 'independent', the dollar ruled our economy. So are we really independent? In any case, happy holiday to you, friends!
