Pro-Duterte poster altering Philippine flag violated law
The Freeman
|March 26, 2025
A banner featuring an altered Philippine flag, used by supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte, violated the law, according to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).
-
The historical body posted a photo of the altered flag on its social media page, which showed a Philippine flag with a green eagle placed on top. While the NHCP blurred out the text on the banner, a reverse image search revealed that the photo was sourced from X (formerly Twitter) user @kfinew, who stated that it came from a pro-Duterte rally in Melbourne, Australia.
“We stand with FPRRD (Former president Rodrigo Duterte),” the banner read.
