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!
