Isang Anti-Duterte Protester maaaring Makulong dahil sa Pagsuot nito sa PH Flag
This is the hard lesson the unidentified woman in the photo must learn that freedom and democracy has limits too.
The photo was taken by the Philippine Daily Inquirer during the September 21 rally of the Liberal party, renouncing the Duterte government for alleged human rights violations and other sins against the people.
The Facebook page “Digong” alerted the social media regarding the Philippine law that woman in the photo has just possibly violated a Philippine law by uploading the photo on social media.
The OP wrote a caption that reads:
You can petition the govt for its abuses and lapses but that does not mean you can blatantly violate our law especially RA 8491 also known as the AN ACT PRESCRIBING THE CODE OF THE NATIONAL FLAG, ANTHEM, MOTTO, COAT-OF-ARMS AND OTHER HERALDIC ITEMS AND DEVICES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Section 34 (prohibited acts) paragraph E. “To wear the flag in whole or in part as a costume or uniform”.
So what awaits to the guilty party? Let us read Section 50 of RA 8491 to know the appropriate penalties for any violator.
Section 50. Any person or juridical entity which violates any of the provisions of this Act shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than Five thousand pesos (P5,000) nor more than Twenty thousand pesos (P20,000), or by imprisonment for not more than one (1) year, or both such fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court: Provided, That for any second and additional offenses, both fine and imprisonment shall always be imposed: Provided, further, That in case the violation is committed by a juridical person, its President or Chief Executive Officer thereof shall be liable.

Dapat hinuli ang babaing yan at kinasuhan, bawal magsuot ng ganyang damit na gamit ang bandila ng pilipinas.
TumugonBurahinAlam nila yan. sinasadya nila para nga naman kapag hinuli sa gitna ng rally magkakagulo at isisigaw nila na isang pagsupil ito ng kalayaan sa pamamahayag. Oppression daw. He he he style nyo buluk!
TumugonBurahinKung taga U.P. o anuman Estate University ka. Mag aral ka na lang kesa sumama sa rally rally na laban kay Presidente. Mahiya ka sa amin mga taxpayers na nagbabayad ng tuition fee mo para maging scholar ng bayan. Yan lang ba ang kaya mo ipakita sa amin mga Pilipino ang sumama sa rally at lapastanganin ang bandila na minamahal namin mga Pilipino. Pilipino ka ba? Sa hitsura ka lang yata Pilipino pero hindi sa isip at gawa.
