No, in our school before, we burn the Philippine Flag if it is considered “dead” or if touched the ground.

It should be burned if the flag is too old or regulated by the government

Base on a heraldic code, I prefer burning it for ceremonial purposes like throwing old flags or something honorable

It really depends on the situation. if you'll be burning it for nothing, yes it should be illegal. but if you'll be burning it because it has been ripped and cannot be used. i think its a valid reason.

 @96J9HB7Democraticanswered…2yrs2Y

yes, because we should respect our country and mostly the flag. It was personally designed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the President of the Revolutionary Government.

According to the Constitution, The Philippine Flag can only be burn if it's old and have tear and it is legal because our flag must be preserved and respected by the nation.

 @9675LD3from Mindoro Occidental answered…2yrs2Y

It is illegal but, in other traditions like the Boy Scout's tradition, they have the tradition to burn a flag for a ceremony so yes it is illegal but needs to be specifically applicable to some that its not.

No, unless if it is used for propaganda or protest then it should be not allowed to be burned

 @8T57KXCfrom Benguet answered…3yrs3Y

No, unless if it is for propaganda or protest then it should be illegal because it is a show of strong disrespect of any nation's flag

 @8NZZXYYLiberalanswered…3yrs3Y

OF COURSE, burning or doing anything disrespectful to the Philippine flag shouldn't be allowed.

 @8LNTW98answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and No depending on the message and the situation, if it is terrorists signifying the wanting od the destruction of the Philippines no if it is people pissed off at a corrupt government and burning the flag as a symbol of freedom from oppression than yes.

 @8RQXF9Ganswered…3yrs3Y

Sounds about 'left'.
It is illegal if done at a protest, although burning the flag on the internet is either propaganda or a typical troll. Should propaganda and trolls be punished? these are people looking for attention, they would kill to get your private's attention so it's humane, just to give them a warning for the first time.

 @8CG8YR6from Mindoro Occidental answered…4yrs4Y

Duh, there is a law where you are allowed to burn an old and dirty flag

 @8DHB76HWorkers and Farmersfrom Mindoro Occidental answered…4yrs4Y

it's illegal for some purposes like The Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines mandates that a flag "worn out through wear and tear" must not be thrown away, but instead be "solemnly burned to avoid misuse or desecration."

No, this is a violation of free speech, but even though I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so. Plus, I Personally believe that it has now become just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should anymore, because America is an Oligarchy and NOT a Democracy

Only for those without US citizenship. But it should be equally legal for other US citizens to respond using lethal force.

 @92YBVSP from Missouri answered…2yrs2Y

If a flag is being retired it can be burned legally, any other situation is should be illegal.

 @92NVQ27 from California answered…2yrs2Y

I think this is a symbolic speech and it's depending on each state on how they think should put this into legal or illegal.
