In our Week 9 module, we will discuss and study the “The Code of Conduct and Ethical
Standards for Public Officials and Employees/ REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6713”. We have to remember
that there are increasing expectations from ordinary citizens, business leaders, and the civil
society that the government will establish and deliver higher standards of ethicality and integrity
in the civil service, agencies/departments/bureaus of government, and the government itself.
We have expectations and want to see an end to the corrupt practices and systems of the past.
Bearing in mind the significant progress made in recent years in developing effective Civil
Service Ethics, Codes of Conduct, transparency measures, Ethics and Integrity systems, and Anti-
corruption agencies, there is now a need to concentrate on three areas of concern in particular
which are directly relevant to the problems of internalizing integrity and ethics in our government
and the Civil Service. Let us now study the week 9 module to know more about the right
conduct and morally accepted being of the future public official or employee.
What is REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6713?

It is an act establishing a code of conduct and
ethical standards for public officials and
employees, to uphold the time-honored principle
of public office being a public trust, granting
incentives and rewards for exemplary service,
enumerating prohibited acts and transactions,
and providing penalties for violations thereof and
for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress

assembled:
Section 1. Title. - This Act shall be known as the "Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for
Public Officials and Employees."
Section 2. Declaration of Policies. - It is the policy of the State to promote a high standard of

SUMMARY
In our week 9 module, we have learned the “The Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for
Public Officials and Employees or REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6713”. As future public employees, civil
servants, and public officials, let us maximize the following set of principles:
Serving the Public Interest - Civil servants and public officials are expected to maintain and
strengthen the public's trust and confidence in government, by demonstrating the highest
standards of professional competence, efficiency, and effectiveness, upholding the Constitution
and the laws, and seeking to advance the public good at all times;
Transparency - Civil servants and public officials are expected to use powers and resources for
public good, under government policy. They should be accountable for the decisions they
make and prepared to justify their actions.
Integrity - Civil servants and public officials are expected to make decisions and act solely in the
public interest, without consideration of their private interests. Public employment being a public
trust, the improper use of a public service position for private advantage is regarded as a serious
breach of duty.
Legitimacy - Civil servants and public officials are required to administer the laws, and to
exercise administrative power on behalf of the Government, or other such authority. That power
and authority should be exercised legitimately, impartially, and without fear or favor, for its
proper public purpose as determined by the Parliament or their employer.
Fairness - Civil servants and public officials should make decisions and act in a fair and
equitable manner, without bias or prejudice, taking into account only the merits of the matter,
and respecting the rights of affected citizens.
Responsiveness - As agents and employees of the elected Government, Civil servants and
public officials are required to serve the legitimate interests and needs of the Government, other
civil servants, and all citizens, in a timely manner, with care, respect, and courtesy.
Efficiency and Effectiveness - Civil servants and public officials are required to obtain the best
value for public assets deployed in or through public management, and to avoid waste and
extravagance in expenditure and the use of public assets.

WEEK 10
THE HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE FLAG
THE PHILIPPINE SYMBOLISM AND MEANING

A. Define and explain the history of the Philippine Flag, Philippine Symbolism and its
meaning;
B. Identify different virtues toward the history of the Philippine Flag, Philippine Symbolism
and its meaning; and
In our week 10 module, we will discuss/study

the history of the Philippine flag, symbolism,
and its meaning. As a criminology student, it
is important to revisit the history of the flag
and be reminded of how our heroes fought
for our independence.
We will put emphasis that the flag reminds us

that we must uphold their values and
continue their legacy. We will also know the
symbols of our flag that helped us in
obtaining the freedom we are now enjoying.
It is also a reminder of how we can be good

and responsible Filipinos in the future. To be
able to have a holistic understanding of the
lesson, let us now begin our lesson.
Flag of Philippines – Colors, Meaning, History
The national flag of the Philippines consists of a bicolor blue and red with a white triangle at the
hoist side. At the center of the triangle is a yellow sun with eight rays surrounded by three yellow
five-pointed stars. This flag was adopted on June 12th, 1898 and it is celebrated every May 28th,
during flag day. The flag is not only a reminder of the victory of the people in the battle of
Alapan but also a symbol of a prosperous future.
History of the Flag of the Philippines
Similar to most countries, the Philippines has a history of using a variety of flags. For instance, the
first flag recorded in history was the flag of the Tondo dynasty in 1570. This flag consisted of a red
triangle extending from the hoist to the endpoint, and white background. The Tondo Dynasty was
the first unified political state in the Philippines. However, in the Southern Philippines, the region
was under the sultanate of Maguindanao and the flag for the area was yellow. In 1521, the
arrival of Ferdinand Magellan began the long history of Spanish influence. In 1535, a new flag
that featured a white background with the cross of Burgundy was hoisted. From 1730 to 1761,
King Felipe V adopted a new flag that consisted of a white background and the royal coat of
arms of Spain. When King Felipe abdicated, his grandson, Carlos III, gained the throne and
altered the flag by removing the shield and replacing it with an oval.
In 1762, the British invaded Manila. Their arrival sparked a revolt in Pampanga, Pangasinan, and
Ilocos Sur north of Manila. Some Chinese people aided the rebels. At the time, the British East
India Company adopted a new banner as the de-facto flag. This flag was an alternating r ed
and white horizontal flag with a union jack at the upper left corner. The flag was in use from 1762
to 1764. However, in 1763, Spain and England signed a treaty that returned the Philippines to
Spanish rule.
In 1785, Spain changed their flag to a red-yellow-red striped flag with a coat of arms on the
yellow stripe. The coat of arms consisted of a crowned oval-shaped insignia that was split into
half red and half white. The red portion consisted of a golden tower and the white piece had a
red lion. Later, when Spain became a republic in 1873, the crown on the insignia was removed.
A few years later, in 1897, the Philippines gained independence, and the country adopted a
revolution flag with a red background with a red-faced white sun. However, this flag was in use
for only a year.
When President Emilio Aguinaldo came to

power, he ordered the design of a new flag.
The official flag consisted of a blue and red bi-
color with a white triangle. At the center of the
triangle was a mythical-faced golden sun.
Moreover, there were three five-pointed stars at
each corner of the triangle. Also, at the center
of the flag was the phrase, “Fuerzas
Expedicionarias del Norte de Luzón,” which
means “Expeditionary forces of Northern Luzon.”
Other words that were embroidered on the flag are Libertad, Justicia, and Ygualidad (Liberty,
Justice, and Equality, which encompassed laurel branches. In 1936, the white triangle on the
flag was elongated.
In 1908, the country came under the control of the United States, after the defeat of the Spanish
in the Spanish-American war. The Philippine flag was banned and the U.S flag was adopted. This
flag consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red alternating with white and blue rectangles in the
canton containing 50 stars. Each star on the American flag represents a state. Initially, the flag
had 48 stars, but in 1912, Arizona and New Mexico were included. With this new power in place,
the Philippines had to fight for independence from the Spanish as well as from the Americans. In
1919, a modified version of the flag of the Philippines was reinstated. This flag consisted of a
darker blue band with no face on the sun.
Later, the official flag of the Philippines was abandoned from 1942 to 1943, following the
Japanese invasion of the Philippines. However, in 1943, the Japanese relinquished control back
to the native people. The bicolored flag was reinstated with a modified bronze-colored eight-
rayed sun and stars. The official flag was adopted after the re-institution of the second republic
from 1946 to 1985. In 1985, there was a debate concerning the color of the original flag, and the
blue stripe of the flag was at the time changed to sky blue.
The upsurge of a people’s power revolution led to the adoption of a flag with a dark blue stripe.
In 1998, the color of the blue line was changed to royal blue and has remained the same since
then.
What is the meaning of the colors of the Flag of the Philippines?
Colors
The flag of the Philippines played a significant part
in the fight for independence against the
Spaniards. Although the country did not have a
national flag at the time, the revolutionary group
chose the current flag to represent the country.
Initially, the white triangle symbolizes liberty. The
golden stars and the golden sun represented the
three central locations of the Philippines, which included the Luzon islands in the North, Visayan
in the South, and the main southern island of Mindanao. The eight rays of the sun represented
the eight provinces in which the anti-Spanish revolt had begun. The color blue expressed the
“willingness to sacrifice oneself for freedom,” while red represented courage.
Presently, the precise meaning of the colors is as follows:
White: Liberty, fraternity, equality

Blue: Peace, truth, justice
Red: Patriotism and valor
Other unofficial interpretations of the colors claim that the white triangle represents a longing for
change. Moreover, these accounts claim the colors red, white, and blue symbolizes the
gratitude of the Philippines to the U.S for their disinterested help in the country’s fight for
independence.
Emblem
At the center of the white triangle is a golden sun with eight rays, accompanied by three stars.
The “three stars and the sun” are a symbol of the Katipuneros revolutionaries who fought for
independence. The sun symbolizes unity, freedom, democracy, and sovereignty. Each of its rays
represents a province that played a part in the 1896 Philippine Revolution. These provinces
include Manila, Pampanga, Bulacan, Morong, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Nueva Ecija.
Another interpretation states that the rays represent the first eight states in the country that were
declared under martial law during the first Philippine Revolution. Moreover, the three five-
pointed stars are a symbol of the three main islands where the revolution started, which are
Luzon, Mindanao, and the Visayas.
Shape
The flag consists of a length to width ratio of 1:2. The width of the flag is equal to the length of
the sides of the triangle. Each star is placed in a manner that one of its tips points to the vertex at
which it is positioned. The sun appears 14 units from the hoist. The diameter of the central disk is 9
units, with the longer rays having a length of 5 units and the shorter rays at 4 units.
The golden sun does not appear at the center.

Instead, it is located slightly to the right. The sun
is sectioned into 16 portions, each at 22.5
degrees (the extension of the rays and the
space between the beams). Each of the stars is
drawn on an imaginary circle with the center
appearing at 7 units from the triangle’s apices.
The diameter of each circle of the star is 5 units.
Interesting Facts about the Flag of the Philippines
● The flag was designed by Emilio Aguinaldo, a military leader, revolutionary, and
politician. He came up with the idea for the flag while he was exiled in Hong Kong in
1897.
● The flag was formally unfurled during the proclamation of Philippine independence on
June 12, 1898, by President Emilio Aguinaldo. This was after the Philippine Revolutionary
Army defeated the Spanish forces in the Battle at Alapan, Imus, Cavite.
● There was a proposal to change the flag on June 15, 1995, when President Fidel Ramos
suggested the incorporation of a crescent moon on the flag to represent Filipino Muslims.
However, this proposal was declined.
● It is prohibited to hoist the flag at nightclubs.
● The law stipulates that a worn-out flag should be solemnly burned, and if a flag begins to
show signs of wear and tear, it should be replaced immediately.
● The official flag can indicate a state of war when flown upside down with the red field is
at the top. For instance, on February 4, 1899, during the 1899 to 1913 Philippine-American
War, it was officially flown upside down. Additionally, during the Japanese attack on the
Philippines in December 1941, the flag was used to indicate a state of hostilities.
SUMMARY
The Philippine flag symbolizes the vast history of our country. As part of the PCCR community, we
are honoring our flag by attending Flag Ceremonies every Monday with our college employees
and administrators. Criminology students must be disciplined and must learn how to respect our
flag as the next law enforcers of our country. What has been learned in this module should not
have remained as part of the study/lesson but we have to put it into practice. We have to
remember that we have to stop whenever we pass by a school that is having its flag ceremony.
When we are watching a movie and the national anthem is played, We have to stand and
pause. These are just simple ways of showing respect for the flag. I am leaving you this question,
respecting the national flag is a basic lesson taught even during elementary days, but do we
know why we should respect it?

FLAG AND HERALDIC CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Part 1
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8491
THE NATIONAL FLAG
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
THE NATIONAL MOTTO

A. Define and explain the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines;
B. Identify different virtues toward the National Flag, National Anthem, and National Motto;
and
For our week 11 lesson, the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines or Republic Act No. 8491
will focus on the National Flag, The National Anthem, and the National Motto. The Constitution
declares that it is a policy of the state to inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism.
One simple way to inculcate nationalism and patriotism not just to the youth but to Filipinos of all
ages is to emphasize the importance of saluting the national flag and the singing of the
Philippine National Anthem.
Let us now start our module and let us have some reflection of the Republic Act No. 849 in real
life.
Explanatory Note:
This bill was originally introduced as House Bill No. 4199 during the Fourteenth Congress where it
was approved by the House of Representatives and transmitted to the Senate. It was again re-
filed during the 15th Congress as House Bill No. 603 where it was again approved by the
Committee on Basic Education and Culture and consolidated into House Bill No. 465, approved
on 2nd reading, approved on 3rd reading, and was transmitted to the Senate where it was not
acted upon. It was re-filed during the 16th Congress where it was again approved by the House
of Representatives.
The Supreme Court has also held that the flag is an emblem of national sovereignty, national
unity and cohesion, and freedom and liberty which it and the Constitution guarantee and
protect.
This law imposes on violators a penalty of a fine of P5,000.00 to P20,000.00 or imprisonment of

one year or both.
However, despite the existence of such law, many Filipinos do not accord respect to our
Philippine Flag and National Anthem. This violation usually happens in cinemas where
moviegoers do not even stand up when the national anthem is being played.
Any practice or ritual that reminds us of something we keep forgetting, probably because we
want to, which is our national identity, is worth enforcing, apart from retaining. In view of the
foregoing, this bill seeks to increase the penalties for disrespectful conduct during the playing of
the Philippine National Anthem.

Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y Tagumpay na nagniningning; Ang bituin at araw niya,

In the column Opinion of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, May 12, 2008. Jet Hernandez, wrote:
"I’ve noticed that some moviegoers at SM cinemas don’t show respect to the Philippine
National Anthem while it's being played. In one instance, I called the attention of a moviegoer
who remained sitting and eating with his wife and kid as the anthem was “video-played.1' He
just snapped back, "How can / stand, I’m eating.”
"Kung ayaw mong magbigay-pugay sa pambansang awit, get out of the Philippines. This
country is not for you."
We have to remember that the singing of our national anthem should be treated as a sacred
and solemn act not unlike the singing of a prayer to God.

SUMMARY
The national flag is the symbol of the country while the national anthem embodies and
expresses the aspirations, dreams, ideals, longings, commitment, determination, nationalism and
patriotism, sentiment, and spirit of the people.
Republic Act No. 8491 otherwise known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines states
that reverence and respect shall at all times be accorded the flag, the anthem, and other
national symbols 'which embody the national ideals and which express the principles of
sovereignty and national solidarity.
In the column Opinion of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, May 12, 2008. Jet Hernandez, wrote:
"I’ve noticed that some moviegoers at SM cinemas don’t show respect to the Philippine
National Anthem while it's being played. In one instance, I called the attention of a moviegoer
who remained sitting and eating with his wife and kid as the anthem was “video-played.' He just
snapped back, "How can / stand, I’m eating.”
"Kung ayaw mong magbigay-pugay sa pambansang awit, get out of the Philippines. This
country is not for you."
We have to remember that the singing of our national anthem should be treated as a sacred
and solemn act, not unlike the singing of a prayer to God.
