Why Do They Hold The Flag Upside Down!? A Globe Aware Summer in the Philippines

Our independence days used to be july 4 but we changed it back in 1962 Diosdado macapagal,Wanted our Independence day June,12,1898 because thats where we fought and died for our freedom.

Last time I saw our flag upside down were the red was on top was during the Battle of Marawi last 2017. You will see the soldiers flag patch upside down.

the june 12 independence day commemorates the day the philippines broke free from spanish rule that's the one that's considered legal today after the american regime or the world war 2, it used to be july 4th ultimately, they returned to the june 12

in all seriously, it's not advisable to flip our flag. because we don't have an alternative flag for war time, we use the same flag but in a different way.

The reverse flag (with the red side up) started during the Filipino-American war and not during the Japanese invasion.

June 12 is the actually the Independence Day. Former President Diosdado Macapagal changed it to June 12 to commemorate the Philippine Revolution and the declaration of Independence after the revolution.

Blue over read means peace over war and the eighth rays is for the eighth founding provinces/rebellion provinces there are more than eight provinces common misconceptions it's ~50 and red over blue means the opposite of blue over red

The Philippine flag color red, white and blue. The blue means- justice, the red- means courage and the white means- peace. The 3 stars are the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, exalts itself into a LUZVIMINDA.

The 8 rays symbolize the first provinces to rise arms against Spain but there's a controversy between 2 provinces theses are Morong(now Rizal) and Tarlac which It became the new seat of the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when Emilio Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan, this only lasted for 1 month. The 3 stars symbolize Luzon, Visayas, (originally Panay), and Mindanao. And you are correct, Philippines independence day is July 4, 1946, and not the fake independence day of June 12, 1898.

Ok

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the red turn down and rest on top what do you flip that can do anything

funfact: as soon as a filipino sees the philippine flag upside down, they uncontrollably switch into a war-timing footing instantly and will attack with complete disregard for their own life. so don't go flipping our flag nonchalantly in the streets, its our "unleash hell into the skies above" switch :D
