Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu, shared her thoughts about a controversial topic regarding a congressman. Congressman Jesus Remulla was caught writing notes during the national anthem was playing.
“Is this another issue na hahayaan na lang ulit dahil sila ay… nakakaiyak na ang mga nangyayari, sa totoo lang,” Kim wrote.
Kim thought that Congressman Remulla will not be penalized for what he did, just because he is an ally of the government. The governance of the current leaders have been accused several times already for enforcing selective justice. Rivals were persecuted for causing violations however, the violations of the allies are ignored by the government and yet, the Palace denied this accusation.
The RA No. 8491 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 traditions and which express the principles of sovereignty and national solidarity. The heraldic items and devices shall seek to manifest the national virtues and to inculcate in the minds and hearts of our people a just pride in their native land, fitting respect and affection for the national flag and anthem, and the proper use of the national motto, coat-of-arms and other heraldic items and devices.”
