Netizens questioned whether the Philippines is in a state of war when a vlog posted on Facebook showed a Philippine flag displayed upside down in Siheung in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

Jhomar Malabanan, a Filipino content creator currently in South Korea, posted a video on Facebook with a background of Asian flags when viewers quickly noticed that the Philippine flag in the background was inverted.

@itsmarukr Nakabaliktad yung Philippine flag natin dito sa South Korea! 🇵🇭 #jhomarinKorea #Philippines #korea ♬ original sound – Jhomar Malabanan🇵🇭🇰🇷

Seeing the red field on top, which indicates that the country is at war, Malabanan and his companion felt uneasy.

They decided to lower the flag and correct its display.

He narrated that he knows how to do so because he was a boy scout during his elementary and high school days.

Malabanan was surprised as to why no other Filipinos in Siheung noticed the incorrect display of the flag.

He also commented, “Ako’y nahirapan din sa pagkakalag ng tali at napakaraming buhol. [Parang] matagal na ang flag nakakabit at naluluma na,” suggesting that the flag had been displayed wrongly for a long time.

RA 8491 Section 10 mandates that, “The flag, if flown from a flagpole, shall have its blue field on top in time of peace and the red field on top in time of war; if in a hanging position, the blue field shall be to the right (left of the observer) in time of peace, and the red field to the right (left of the observer) in time of war.”
