National Heroes Day

This is the second long weekend for August. Also, today is conducive for sleeping being a rainy day; and you may not want to go out.

Emilio Aguinaldo (because of Camp Aguinaldo), Epifanio delos Santos (because of EDSA), and others who have monuments and landmarks that remind us of them. How about Fernando Ma.
