 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background and rationale

Flag raising ceremony here in Matangad National High school is unique compare to
any school, because they give award to those sections that have the biggest number of
present Students of, every students is been motived to attend the flag raising in order to get
an award, also flag raising is important to any students because it is a symbolic act that holds
deep significance for many cultures and nation. It represent a variety of important concept
like. National pride and unity because raising a flag is a way to show patriotism and express a
sense of belonging to a nation and respect and dignity to show respect for the country

According at Republic Act No. 8491, also known as the “Flag and Heraldic Code of
the Philippines,” comprehensively outlines the proper conduct and observance of flag-raising
ceremonies in the Philippines and According to a vexillologist a person called who studies the
flag that vexillology explores the history, symbolism, and usage Of flags, it delve into the
design, principle, Cultural significance and evolution across different times and cultures

According to Hobsbawm (1983), national symbols and rituals, such as flag-raising,

play a crucial role in the creation of national consciousness. He argues that these traditions
are often “invented” or institutionalized to strengthen a shared sense of identity among
citizens. This is evident in historical moments like the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima
during World War II, which became an enduring symbol of victory and perseverance (Bradley,
2006). Similarly, in the Philippines, the first official flag-raising on June 12, 1898, marked the
country’s declaration of independence from Spanish rule, symbolizing newfound sovereignty
(Agoncillo, 1990).

In educational institutions, daily flag-raising ceremonies instill national pride and

discipline among students. Anderson (1983) highlights that national rituals, including flag-
raising, help reinforce an “imagined community” where individuals feel connected to the larger
nation, even without direct interaction. Countries such as China, the United States, and the
Philippines have institutionalized this practice to emphasize respect for national symbols and
cultivate a sense of responsibility among citizens. Studies by Tan (2011) suggest that regular
participation in flag-raising ceremonies fosters civic awareness and strengthens social
cohesion.

 2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies that helped the
researcher determine the factors that affect reading comprehension. Those included in this
chapter help in familiarizing relevant and similar information to the present study and gave the
author enough background to understand the study.

According to Robert Shanafelt (2008) Conventionally, flags are explained as symbols

of group solidarity that achieve force through ritual processes. Alternatively, flags may be
seen as symbols with positive or negative associations derived from our experiences with
physical space. While this article accepts these interpretations, it also argues that they need
to be augmented. Flag meaning is not entirely a social or linguistic construction because there
is a link between flag displays and our inherent predispositions to cues about social rank. Our
evolved social intelligence makes us sensitive to the topographic features of flag displays that
signal relationships of dominance and subordination.

According to Patrick Flores (2019) The identity of a country and the sentiments which
surround it may manifest in different forms such as art, music, literature, poetry, and symbols.
Every established country, throughout its history, develops its own unique symbol which comes
in the form of a flag. Through this flag, the ideals and aspirations which every country wishes to
uphold for itself and each one of its citizens are visualized and represented. How each state
treats the use of their flag differs, normally influenced by the experiences of the country
throughout its history. In the Philippines, the flag has embodied national unity. The Philippines is
a nation of diverse cultural backgrounds and varying historical experiences in each area. In the
midst of such diversity, the Philippine flag provided a symbol which transcends provincial or
regional identity. The Philippine flag has also been time and again been a symbol of sovereignty,
and, a banner to rally under for those who wish to be free from foreign control, such struggle
against an occupying power being one of the catalysts for such unity. Occupying forces have
also tried throughout history to suppress the use of the national flag, with Filipinos striving to
regain such right each time. Ironically, the Philippine government, decades after freedom has
been gained once again from the last foreign occupier, imposes particular restrictions on the use
of the national flag. Some restrictions in particular prohibiting attachment of the flag in clothing
and other articles. Even more ironic is such restrictions were put in place not long after the
government enshrined the right to free expression in its constitution. Despite this, Filipinos still
proudly adorn the flag and its imagery on their everyday belongings, while brands and
businesses in the Philippines continue to make products showcasing such designs. This thesis
seeks to tackle the use of freedom of expression against the imposed restrictions on the use of
the flag.

 According to Sudhai Pai (2009) The national flag in every country symbolizes its
history, traditions and national identity, particularly those emerging from colonialism, where it
is used to invoke a glorious past, as well as a symbol of a modern nation-state that is being
constructed. This often creates, in the process, deep-seated divisions. The flag is an
important symbol that helps create’imagined communities’, or is one of the cultural artifacts
that helps in constituting a nation (Anderson 1983: 13). In India, the tricolour with the Ashokan
wheel emblem was adopted as a symbol of a resurgent, democratic and secular nation, with
an ancient and composite civilization, to create a pan-Indian identity following independence.

 3. THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

1.1 Theoretical Framework

The study anchored on the following theories:

Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities (1983) Anderson’s theory of Imagined

Communities explains how nations are socially constructed through shared symbols,
traditions, and media. He argues that national identity is reinforced through repeated rituals,
such as flag-raising ceremonies, which create a sense of unity among citizens.

Eric Hobsbawm’s Invention of Tradition (1983)Hobsbawm theory argues that many national
traditions, including flag-raising ceremonies, are “invented” to establish continuity with the
past and promote collective identity. These traditions serve to instill loyalty, discipline, and
respect for national symbols.

Durkheim’s Theory of Collective Consciousness (1912) Émile Durkheim, a sociologist,

introduced the concept of collective consciousness, which refers to the shared beliefs, values,
and norms that unify a society. He emphasized the role of rituals in strengthening social
cohesion.

Social Identity Theory by Tajfel and Turner (1979)Tajfel and Turner’s Social Identity Theory
suggests that people derive part of their self-identity from group memberships, including
national identity. Participation in national traditions, such as flag-raising, enhances individuals’
sense of belonging and pride in their country.

6. DISCUSSION

The research findings presented herein shed light on the multifaceted nature of
factors motivating the students to attend the flag raising ceremony. Drawing upon data
collected through survey and interview questionnaires adapted and modified from
Estremera, M.L. and Estremera, G.L., a comprehensive understanding of these influences
begins to emerge.

of 10k-15k, 16k, 15k, 10k, 5k-10k, 10k-20k, 25k and the last one was 100k . Children from

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
poor backgrounds are constrained by the financial resources they and their families have
(Crosnoe and Cooper 2010). Thus, economic capital determines the extent to which parents
can offer financial support to their children’s academic pursuits.

The researchers found that 80% of the students attend “for attend only,” while 20%

1. For future researchers, an equivalent quantitative research should also be conducted

to fully assess the respondents’ motivation

2. The researchers would also recommend to conduct this research on a bigger

population to further improve the accuracy and reliability of the data gathered.

3. The researcher would also recommend that the school should have a proper
assessment and monitoring on the students’ to attend based on the situation cited by
the researchers.
