Internet giant Google on Tuesday paid tribute to the Philippines on its 114th Independence Day with a Philippine flag-inspired doodle.
Visitors to Google's homepage were greeted with the Google logo with the letters in blue and red, the colors of the Philippine flag.
The second "o" in "Google" resembled the sun, surrounded by three stars. Hovering the mouse or pointer leads to the message "Philippines Independence Day."
As in the past, clicking on the doodle will take the visitor to a Search Results page featuring Wikipedia entries on the Philippine Declaration of Independence and Philippine Independence Day.
Malacañang had declared June 12 this year as a regular holiday so people will have the chance to celebrate Independence Day.
Parades and other activities have been set for the day, with President Benigno Aquino III leading rites in Barasoain in Bulacan.
On June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite, the Philippines declared its independence from Spanish colonial rule. –KG, GMA News
