Tess Herbosa told The STAR that understanding and adhering to the code is crucial in "honoring the national flag properly." "You see offices and private houses displaying torn and tattered flags," Herbosa said.

She added that Filipinos must be mindful to replace flags when they are no longer clean and know the proper way to dispose of old ones.
