AHEAD OF INDEPENDENCE DAY

- Caecent No-ot Magsumbol with Caren Itolle and Joseph Adrian Leyson, CNU interns/BRP

Ahead of the Independence Day observance, the Cebu City government will initiate a flag burning ceremony today at the Cebu City National Science High School, to be led by acting Cebu City Mayor Donaldo Hontiveros, as he aims to counter negative perception regarding this practice.

The ceremony is in observance of Republic Act 8491, otherwise known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, which also mandates the solemn burning of worn-out flags through wear and tear to avoid misuse or desecration under the Section 14 of the said act. Once a flag shows visible signs of wear and tear, it must be replaced immediately.
