inhumane penalties.
Human freedom and responsibility
It is a settled principle growing out of the nature of well-ordered civil
societies that the exercise of those rights is not absolute for it may be so
regulated that it shall not be injurious to the equal enjoyment of others having
equal rights, nor injurious to the rights of the community or society…”[ Bayan v.
Ermita, G.R. No. 169838, 25 April 2006 citing Primicias v. Fugoso, 80 Phil. 71
(1948),.]
All rights recognized under the 1987 Philippine Constitution or even
the International law are all not absolute rights. It is subject to the limitations of
our existing laws.
Decided case; Fundamental rights vs Special Law:
(Ebralinag, et al. vs. The Division Superintendent of Schools of Cebu
GR Nos. 95770 and 95887 March 1, 1993)
Right to education & right to religious belief vs REPUBLIC ACT NO. 1265 (AN
ACT MAKING FLAG CEREMONY COMPULSORY IN ALL EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS), & Department Order No. 8, Series of 1955, containing the rules and
regulations for the proper conduct of the flag ceremony
FACTS OF THE CASE:
In 1993, sixty-eight students from the organization Jehovah's Witnesses
(JW) were expelled from a school in Cebu for their failure to salute the flag, sing the
Philippine National Anthem, and recite the patriotic oath.
A teacher in the same school, also a JW adherent was fired from her job
for the same offense. According to JW teachings, flag ceremonies, flag
salutes, and patriotic oaths are viewed as acts of worship or religious devotion,
the latter two of which they believe can only be rendered to God alone and not
anyone nor anything. The JW's consider the flag an image and honoring the
flag idolatry.
The case was brought to court wherein the Cebu Division Superintendent
argued that the students and the teacher violated Republic Act No. 1265, the law that
makes flag ceremony compulsory for all schools, citing the case of Gerona et al v.
Secretary of Education.
Superintendent also argued of separation of church and state (1987 Philippine
Constitution, Article II, Section 6), …and that giving JW's right to exemption disrupt
school discipline and demoralize the rest of the school population which by far

constitutes the great majority.( Gerona, et al. vs. Secretary of Education, et al., 106
Phil. 2 (1959) and Balbuna, et al. vs. Secretary of Education, 110 Phil. 150 (1960))
Petitioners stressed that while they do not take part in the compulsory flag
ceremony, they do not engage in ‘external acts’ or behavior that would offend their
countrymen who believe in expressing their love of country through observance of the
flag ceremony. They quietly stand at attention during the flag ceremony to show their
respect for the right of those who choose to participate in the solemn proceedings.
Since they do not engage in disruptive behavior, there is no warrant for their
expulsion.
ISSUES:
Whether school children who are members of a religious sect known as
Jehovah's Witnesses may be expelled from school (both public and private), for
refusing, on account of their religious beliefs, to take part in the flag ceremony which
includes
1. playing (by a band) or singing the Philippine national anthem,
2. saluting the Philippine flag and
3. reciting the patriotic pledge.
Violation of R.A. No. 1265 and Department Order No. 8, series of 1955, has
been raised before this Court?
DECISION/RULING:
The Court ruled in favor of the expelled JW students and the fired JW teacher,
on the grounds that expulsion due to religious beliefs is invalid.
Religious freedom is a fundamental right (Article III, Section 5), which is
entitled to the highest priority and the amplest protection among human rights, for it
involves the relationship of man to his Creator.
The expulsion of the members of Jehovah’s Witness from the schools where
they are enrolled will violate their right as Philippine citizens, under the 1987
Constitution, to receive free education, for it is the duty of the state to ‘protect and
promote the right of all citizens to quality education, and to make such education
accessible to all (Art XIV, Section 1). Nevertheless, their right not to participate in the
Flag Ceremony does not give them a right to disrupt such patriotic exercises.

Elements that define freedom:
1. Voluntariness - the ability of a person to act of his or her own free will
and self-determination. A person may decide to do things or not to do it
according to his own free will.
- One must always remember that in every action we make, in every
choice we make there is an equivalent consequence. These consequences
affect not just the individual who does the decision but also other people in
their surroundings.
2. Responsibility - refers to the person being accountable for his or her
action and their consequences. Taking responsibility can mean either
you take responsibility to your doing voluntarily or other people will hold
you responsible.
