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 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 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.

Ok

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.

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

*dissent not descent. The subtitles can be misleading.

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

Yooooo don‘t flip

When the flag went red up; you've done fucked around and now you're about to find out.

Good thing nobody saw the war flag, you would go to prison if all of them saw that

nahhh jit trippin for flipping the flag💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Eh yoooooo you want. War?

This nonsense that that Philippines received independence from the United states is just nonsense the Philippines is always been a independent country before even the west came.

ayooo u flip philippine flag 💀

July 4 in not our indepence its june 13 the real independence we are 125th independence 2023

Everything wrong with the video: 1. Red, blue and white does not symbolize the same as the French. White stands for "kapantaypantayan" (or equality), blue for "kapayapaan" (or peace) and red for "digmaan" (or war) 2. The eight rays actually do represent provinces, but they're not just the 8 provinces in the Philippines, but rather the ones who originally fought against the Spanish in the Philippine Revolutionary War. Those being Tarlac, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Nueva Ejica, Laguna and Manila. 3. No, our independence day is not on July 4th, 1946 despite Google saying so. It is on June 12, changed because that was the day we got our independence from the Spanish. 4. The flag is *not* held upside down during Independence Day (on the 12th of June). We only do it during war time, and little known fact, holding it in the war orientation here in a public place is actually against the law and can either land you with a fine of P5,000 (85$) which might not seem like much to literally anybody else, but it is to us, and up to P20,000 (340$) or 1 year in prison. If holding the flag with the white triangle facing downwards the ground, the blue should be to the right (or left of the observer) in times of peace.
