Rizal Park to get longer, mechanized flagpole | Metro, News, The Philippine Star | philstar.com

Before the end of the year, machine will replace man in flag-raising ceremonies at Rizal Park.

The 105-foot (32-meter) flagpole in front of the Rizal monument will be replaced by one that measures 150 feet (45 meters) before Dec. 30, National Parks and Development Committee (NPDC) spokesperson Kenneth Montegrande said yesterday.

Montegrande said they will no longer manually raise the flag once the new flagpole is installed.

“Raising the flag would become mechanized because it would be strenuous for humans to bring the flag to the top because they would have to deal with the strong wind at that height, at 150 feet,” the NPDC spokesperson said.

According to sign posted by the government, replacing the flagpole alone would cost P7 million.
