Sto. Tomas North Central School in Batangas, 536 flags at the Guiguinto Central
School in Bulacan; 72 flags at the Andres Bonifacio Elementary School 1 in
Bacolod City; 1,278 flags at the Don Eugenio Ladrido Memorial Elementary School
in Lambunao, Iloilo; and 450 flags at the Davao City National High School. The

the recipient schools.

“We are grateful to be part of this endeavor that
instills patriotism among our younger generations of future leaders. Helping
grow not just a sense of respect for the flag but more importantly, love for
country, is something that we are deeply committed to,” said Ronald Mascariñas,
BAVI president and general manager.
Initially, BAVI has provided funding support to enable
the Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI) and its Maging Magiting flag campaign, to
distribute 3,000 flag kits to public elementary schools nationwide, with the
help of the Department of Education and the National Historical Commission of
the Philippines, to rekindle Filipino pride, foster love of country, and
celebrate the lives of everyday Filipino heroes, especially among young
students.
Section 5 of Republic Act 8491 or the Flag and Heraldic
Code of the Philippines stipulates that the Philippine national flag shall be
displayed in all public buildings, official residences, public plazas, and
institutions of learning everyday throughout the year.
