May 28 kicks off national observance of Flag Days
Today is the start of the national observance to the Philippine National Flag which will run until June 12, 2009 dubbed as Flag Days under RA 8491 where everyone is enjoined to display the Philippine Flag outside private and government offices, commercial establishments, learning institutions and private residences.
The flag theme “Pilipinas Kong Mahal” placed emphasis on “pagbibigay respeto at pagmamahal sa ating bansa,” with the advocacy message serving as a good reminder to each Filipino to love and honor one’s country and be nationalistic in the midst of materialism in today’s modern era.
Preparations are also underway to hold the upcoming ‘Kalayaan 2009′ celebration to commemorate the 111th anniversary of our Philippine Independence Day on June 12 under the theme “Kagitingan, Kagalingan at Kasipagan Tungo sa Tunay na Kalayaan.” (PIA/FCR)
