June 12 is officially the Philippine Independence day which is a celebration of the Philippine's declaration of Independence on June 12, 1898, from it's longest colonizer Spain. It was originally commemorated by the Philipppines on the 4th of July because the American's intentionally chose that date to correspond to their independence day. It didn't seem right to the Philippine leaders at that time, so they changed it. Besides, what independent country would want it's independence day celebration to be influenced by another country anyway?
I did not just make that up, look it up in wikepedia - History of Philippine Independence Day.
