DID YOU KNOW?

National symbols such as flags, coats of arms, and official emblems are generally not allowed to be registered as trademarks without proper authorization. This helps protect symbols that represent a country’s identity and sovereignty.

Trademark protection exists to distinguish brands and businesses, but certain symbols, including the Philippine flag, are protected because they carry a deeper national and cultural significance shared by all Filipinos.

As we observe National Flag Days from May 28 to June 12, let us honor the Philippine flag as a symbol of freedom, unity, and national pride. 🇵🇭
