๐ Rizal Park Luneta, Ermita, Manila (with National Parks Development Committee and Salute To A Clean Flag Movement)
๐ NHCP Museo nina Marcela Mariรฑo at Felipe Agoncillo, Taal, Batangas (with Municipality of TAAL)
๐ 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 Mariรฑo de Agoncillo in Hong Kong at the Teatro Caviteรฑo 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.
