He said, “I’d like to apologize for an earlier incident na ako po’y may ’sinusulat na note no’ng nag-flag ceremony tayo. As usual, the ABS-CBN people are the ones playing it up now on social media. But I will forgive them.”
Republic Act No. 8491 is also known as “Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines”. Under this is section 38 which states, “When the National Anthem is played at a public gathering, whether by a band or by singing or both, or reproduced by any means, the attending public shall sing the anthem. The singing must be done with fervor.”
And to show respect, one must accordingly face the flag, execute a salute by placing the right palms over the left chest.
