It was on May 28, 1898 that Philippine flag was first unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated Spanish forces in the Battle at Alapan in Imus, Cavite. Executive Order 179, issued by President Fidel Ramos, encourages Filipinos to display the Philippine flag throughout this period.  PHOTO BY RENE H. DILAN
