On May 28, 1898, the Philippine Flag was proudly unfurled and waved for the first time following the Philippine Revolutionary Army's victory over Spanish forces in Imus, Cavite.

Today, as we commemorate National Flag Day, let us reflect on the meaning and symbolism behind the Filipino flag. 🇵🇭

🇵🇭 𝓡𝓐𝓘𝓢𝓔 𝓨𝓞𝓤𝓡 𝓕𝓛𝓐𝓖❗ 🇵🇭

Starting today, we celebrate the National Flag Days by displaying our National Flag in our homes, schools, and offices in celebration of our nation’s independence.

Ceremonies will be held throughout the country, especially in the following sites:
📌 Dambana ng Pambansang Watawat, Alapan, Imus City, Cavite (with City Government of Imus)
📌 Rizal Park Luneta, Ermita, Manila (with National Parks Development Committee and Salute To A Clean Flag Movement)
📌 NHCP Museo nina Marcela Mariño at Felipe Agoncillo, Taal, Batangas (with Municipality of TAAL)
📌 Samonte Park, Cavite City, Cavite (in the afternoon, with City Government of Cavite)

May 28 was selected as the start of the National Flag Days as it is the anniversary of the Battle of Alapan. Filipino revolutionary forces under the overall command of General Emilio Aguinaldo, who returned from exile on 18 May 1898, defeated a large Spanish force at the field of Alapan, Imus, Cavite. In celebration of the victory, Aguinaldo unfurled and showed to the Filipino people for the first time the new National Flag made by Marcela Mariño de Agoncillo in Hong Kong at the Teatro Caviteño in Cavite City.

The new flag, which featured the red and blue fields with a white triangle superimposed by a sun with eight rays and three stars, would become the Flag of the Philippine nation and is the basis for our present-day standard.

Eid Mubarak! 🌙

Isang mataimtim na pagdiriwang ng Eid’l Adha sa ating mga kapatid na Muslim.

Ngayong araw, isinasabuhay ng mga kapatid natin ang halaga ng pagsasakrispisyo. Nawa’y magsilbing paalala ang banal na pagdiriwang na ito ng kahalagahan ng pananampalataya, sakripisyo, malasakit, at pagkakaisa sa ating mga pamayanan.

Kaisa ang bayan sa paggalang sa mayamang kultura at tradisyong patuloy na nagpapatibay sa ating pagkakakilanlan bilang isang bansang may pagkakaiba-iba ngunit nagkakaisa.
