Students Who are Not Attending Flag Ceremony

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The Philippine flag is the National emblem of the Filipinos. It

symbolizes the Philippine freedom, history and sovereignty. According

to the curator of the Aguinaldo shrine, it is important to revisit the

history of the flag and be reminded of how heroes fought for our

independence. It should be given importance for it reflects the love

for country, and it is one of the ways to value the sacrifices of the

people who died protecting and defending our motherland.

According to Republic Act No. 8491, otherwise known as the “An

Act prescribing the code of the national flag, anthem, motto, coat of

arms and other heraldic items and devices of the Philippines, All

government offices and educational institution shall henceforth

observed the flag racing ceremony every Monday morning and the flag

lowering ceremony every Friday afternoon. The ceremony shall be simple

and dignified and shall include the playing or singing of the

Philippine national anthem. This problem had accumulated from

tolerable to habitual state and it has a significant impact to the

student’s performance at school.


Most of the class had been influenced by their companions and this

would be embedded in their minds pattern until college and ultimately

to their vacation and adventures in life. Other students had just the

difficulty in optimizing their time as their subject related

activities grows in bulk.

To figure it out, the researcher’s intentions is to isolate the

primary

reason of tardiness of some students who are not active in attending

the flag ceremony at school and proactive intervention will be

executed so as to curtail if it will not completely do away with the

problem.

As the school invest discipline to have a world class graduates

globally competitive and well rounded individuals, the researcher’s

had

in mind to discover the reasons behind this punctuality virtue which

is losing in ground

Background of the Study

Punctuality is said to be the soul the role of businness and there can

be nothing more fundamental to the school business than punctuality

(Ezewu, 1982) and it can be subdivided in two dimension; coming to

school and closing at the right time. In flag ceremony for instance

the students advantage from it where important information, prayer and


admonition are made. The school has interconnection within the school

and community they are responsible for discipline and guided by the

regulation of duty master that covers planning, controlling and

organizing (kachchar, 2002). Basically the school is not only mandated

punishment for the late comers but developing structure and strategy

for preventing the habitual tardiness of students

On the other side, students are completely rationalize excusing, such

as traffic, intervention, long-distance, family problem, working

students, passive etc. However, students attendance policy has been

commission by the Department of Education from grade schools to

colleges which strives to develop and authorize all students to come

early and be punctual at all times to fulfill their own fundamental

potential ensuring the full force to the curriculum itself

According to Santillo (2010) reported that psychological theorist

considered some “personality traits” including anxiety and low self-

esteem as absolute factors of lateness but some believed as an “inborn

quality”. The study of Pimentel and Quijada (2011) focused on the

frequency of use of famous social networking sites tackled by the UP

Cebu freshmen students. Moreover, students have mindsets or belief

that there are no positive incentives to be on time as they assume

that there will be no constructive activities happen for the first ten

minutes pertaining to class hour and specifically to school

activities.

Therefore, one of the greatest concern among school administration or

the community within is tardiness and it has become an educational


crime nowadays (millennium period, 21st Century). These problems range

from government, parents and society. In general, there is a big

implication of continuous and contagious predicament about the

tardiness of students
