Philippine Independence Day Celebration!

Today, the Philippine Republic celebrates its independence from 300 years of Spanish rule. According to the history books, it was on this date in 1898 that General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Filipino flag from the balcony of his mansion and called the people to take up arms against their Spanish colonizers. General Aguinaldo became the first president of the Philippine Republic and his proclamation of Philippine Independence is re-enacted yearly from the same balcony of the now historic mansion.

In honor of this day of celebration, EzineArticles expert author from the Philippines Michael Lee is today’s Author Spotlight.

A Filipino native, Michael is a professional copywriter, self improvement expert and teacher of the art of persuasion and influence. In his self improvement article Persuasion and Influence – The Remarkable Law of Expectation, he offers:

“Why is this [the law of expectation] persuasion and influence principle so effective?
We aim to meet, if not exceed other’s expectations of us, especially if we stand to gain benefits like getting rewards, earning trust or being regarded highly.”

His presentation of this concept is simple and effective with further explanation through situational examples throughout the article. An EzineArticles Platinum Member since October 2004, Michael has consistently submitted his 261 articles in 50 categories, resulting in nearly 200,000 page views. Michael furthers his credibility as an EzineArticles Expert Author by proudly displaying his professional author photo on his extended author bio page.

Thanks Michael Lee for being an EzineArticles Expert Author and to all 825 members from the Philippines, enjoy your day of celebration!

This Asian country is a wonderful place. From my point of view, my country (Peru/South America) resembles Philippines in history, geography, culture and people. Unlike many countries (for example Spain, Sweden, Brazil and Japan), Philippines has two female rulers in its history: Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuanjco Aquino (1986-1992) and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (currently president). It is an example for democracy in the world. MABUHAY PHILIPPINES!
