The flag ceremony |
|
No public function probably brings Filipinos closer together than
the flag ceremony. In schools, city halls and government offices,
all activities stop when the national flag is raised or lowered to
the accompaniment of the national anthem. At least twice a week, on
Mondays and Fridays, the ritual known as the flag ceremony brings
the community together for a symbolic homage to the national icons
and for a brief recollection of our past. The flag-raising on
Mondays and lowering on Fridays strengthens civic ethic and
reaffirms our citizenship and identity.
