This is in light of whether or not we ...Dear Sirs,<br /><br />This is in light of whether or not we as Ilonggos should not be represented in the flag, as true participants in the Revolution against Spain.<br />Lawmakers have instead pacified Mindanao...<br /><br />Gordon's proposed bill adding yet another ray to the Philippine flag should concern all Filipinos but most especially us Ilonggos.<br />The eight rays within the white triangle represent the towns within Luzon that fathered the Philippine Revolution.<br /><br />However, Santa Barbara, which actively participated under General Delgado, was never represented in the flag. <br /><br />Gordon and even Puentebella maintain that Muslim resistance to colonial rule merits a ray. Problem is, Mindanao is already one of three stars that mark our flag.<br /><br />Whatever for is this bill? It begs a timely answer- acknowledge the " Cry of Santa Barbara" in it's proper context.<br /><br />Omon Maravilla<br />Oct 3, 2009Omon Maravillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331746475716091095noreply@blogger.com
