BI chief Norman Tansingco said the agency would pursue a deportation case against the arrested individuals for violating the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines. The law states that the flag, the anthem, and other national symbols should be given “reverence and respect” at all times. It prohibits any act that casts dishonor or ridicule upon the flag.
“Foreign nationals staying here must respect our country and our laws. Foreigners destroying symbols of our country show utmost disrespect and do not deserve our hospitality,” Tansingco said.
