The National Flag Days which will be observed starting May 28 until June 12 will be launched nationwide on May 25, 2009.
It is in the national flag where Filipinos can derive their nationalism from a perspective on how richly blest the country is with natural resources and the sacrifices the heroes gave for the welfare of the generations of Filipinos.
Republic Act 8491 “the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines”, states that “every year, from May 28 to June 12 (Independence Day), all offices and instrumentalities of government, business establishments, schools and private homes are enjoined to display the Philippine Flag throughout this period.” (PIA/ESS)
