Laborers clip the grass and apply fresh paint around Guillermo Tolentino's famous "Monumento" of Andres Bonifacio in Caloocan City in preparation for the celebration of the Philippines' 123rd celebration of Independence Day on Saturday (June 12).
The monument was built to commemorate the Cry of Pugad Lawin in 1896, which heralded the start of the Philippine Revolution against Spain. (MT)
