May 28 is National Flag Day!
By virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 374 s. 1965, May 28 is declared as “National Flag Day” to commemorate the date the national emblem was first unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated the Spanish forces in the Battle at Alapan, Imus, Cavite in 1898.
On May 23, 1994, Executive Order No. 79 was issued extending the period of celebrating National Flag Day from May 28 to June 12.
