The Embassy of the Philippines in Canada joins the nation in celebrating National Flag Days from 28 May – 12 June 2024 for the 126th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence with the theme - ‘Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.’
Presidential Proclamation No. 374 (s. 1965) declared 28 May as National Flag Day in commemoration of the heroic 1898 victory by Filipino forces in the Battle of Alapan in Imus, Cavite against the Spanish Army. In recognition of their victory, General Emilio Aguinaldo formally unfurled the new National Flag before the public gathered at the Teatro Caviteño, in Cavite City. Executive Order No. 179 (s. 1994) extended the celebration of Flag Day from 28 May to 12 June and encouraged the country to display the flag throughout this period.
Its observance shows our patriotism and commitment to national unity and promoting a sense of national pride.
