FACEBOOK GREETS FILIPINO USERS HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH AN INVERTED PHILIPPINE FLAG

Facebook just declared war - by sending Happy Independence Day greetings to their Filipino users with an inverted Philippine flag!

The Philippine flag is the only flag in the world that has a different meaning when it is inverted. The Philippine flag has the blue part on top but when the red part is on top - it means the country is in a state of war, as what is shown above in this Facebook greeting.

Was this intentional - meaning during the time the independence was declared, the country was in war; or was this one of the biggest boo boo of Facebook Philippines?

Anyway, as always, Google has its home page blinged up as well as a jeepney to commemorate the independence day :

Anyways, Happy Independence Day to all Filipinos!

recently, there was a similar incident that happened. joseph candare, a student of up diliman, described on his blog how he killed a cat. paws, an animal care group, initiated a case against him and he was found guilty. he was convicted by the quezon city trial court. let us wait if the group will also have the same action versus senador.

it was also stated in senador's facebook wall that the puppy is now safe and was not harmed by his action. he also posted videos of the dog as proof.
