Flag to be modified to show 9 rays

[t@n0d]

Mainit na nga dito sa Pinas, dadami pa rays ng araw sa flag natin ... what a waste of time and money... maraming ibang paraan para mabigyan din ng importansya yung mga Muslim brothers natin... hindi naman kailangan sa flag... hindi naman ibig sabihin na yung mga probinsya na lumaban sa mga kastila, Kristiyano lahat... magbibigay pa ng ibang kulay dito... ang malinaw dito na mga Filipino (Muslims, Christians, etc.) ang lumaban sa Kastila.

Hmmm . . . aside from the larger caliber of the 45, it is much easier to hit a moving target with a "keris" by using a semi-auto than a revolver.

Moreover, Muslim warriors are conditioned mentally & spiritually that fighting for Islam or Jihad ensures their spot in heaven when they die . . . and lots of virgins too (though it's not clear if those are men or women virgins)

Back to the topic . . . a flash report this afternoon aired on DZMM stated that Malacanang will not approve Senator Gordon's proposal to add a ray on the our flag's sun. Dapat kasi si Gibo daw ang nag-propose nyan e. Sapaw tuloy . . .

[LeOxe]

di na dapat pakialaman pa ang rays ng sun sa flag natin.

Tang ina mo Gordon!

just leave the flag as it is..gago!

alam ko matagal ng meron bill na magdagdag ng 9th ray para sa isang province na lumaban din sa Spaniards. hinde ma approve.

mukhang desperado rin manalo sa election kaya kumukuha ng sympathy votes sa mga Muslims.

Baka may mag-suggest ilagay ang mukha ni Ninoy/Cory sa flag?

[claRkEnt]

this issue got already big attention nationwide. Now if malacanang would Veto this bill, lalo na naman sasama loob ng mga muslim. They would claim discrimination na naman and point out again that they had been wanting separation long ago. and the fighting continues. The proposed bill served as a flamer lang.

The proposed bill served as a flamer lang.

Flamebait legislation. I love the idea!

Eto ang akin.

I agree the 9th ray for the Muslim. Since the 8 rays of the sun represents the first provinces who fought against the Spaniards. However they have forgotten that the very first one are the Muslim in Mindanao since they are not conquered by the Spaniards. This is not a racial thing, since all races of the Philippines are very well represented on the 3 Stars.

I am a proud Chinese from Manila, which my ancestor also fought for our freedom, some for Philippine freedom, some for Chinese freedom, and other for other’s countries freedom (where they belong in).

Ok sa ibang pang humihirit... magpadagdag na lang kayo at wag maging crab mentality.

Sa mga nagpatatoo no offense.. hindi lang naman Pilipinas lang ang nagbabago ng watawat.. mga ibang bansa din. At ayos lang yan edi may bakas kayo ng kasaysayan..

[Isuzoom]

di ako go sa extra ray sa flag...paki basa muna ng philippine history...ang bobo talaga ng mga polintiko natin...

[chua_riwap]

Itong si Flash Gordon, walang magawa......

Gusto lang mag-vibrate yung labi nya ........para may masabi ng konti.

[jansky]

i agree, the muslims fought real hard to preserve their religion, culture and territory. they must be recognized for it. but the thing is, mga muslim din ang sumisira sa pinaghirapan ng mga ninuno nilang muslim. i know, they are extremists and what they're doing is in total conflict with the teachings of islam (or any religion for that matter). but one cannot deny the fact that the abu sayyaf and milf are still muslims who believe they are following the teachings of allah.

pinakamahalaga sa lahat, mahirap ng idrawing ng symmetrical yong araw pag 9 rays.

the Spanish controlled Zamboanga & the eastern part of Mindanao.

Yes, they controlled some parts of Mindanao but never really subjugated the whole region, that is one of the points raised by the MNLF and MILF that they were really a separate state from the beginning....Just my take on this topic. Peace.

[jearhanuding]

a bit of history about ISLAM in the philippines.

More civilized people would just get over the fact of being conquered. Hehe.
