One blogger wrote “the poster stirred up very deeply rooted feelings of pride and nationalism.” Manila City Legal Officer Renato de la Cruz thinks otherwise as he ordered their removal “to comply with a constitutional provision prohibiting unnecessary imprints on the flag.”

Still another blogger observed “Pilipinas Kong Mahal - very apt considering the fact that at present lahat ng bagay sa pilipinas ay mahal.”

Whichever side you’re on, happy Independence Day everyone!
