Should it be illegal to burn the Filipino flag?
Flag desecration is any act that is carried out with the intention of damaging or destroying a national flag in public. This is commonly done in an effort to make a political statement against a nation or its policies. Some nations have acts that ban flag desecration while others have laws that protect the right to destroy a flag as a part of free speech. Some of these laws distinguish between a national flag and those of other countries.

Burning the Philippine flag should be legal as it already is ON CERTAIN SCENARIOS, like disposing of an old, broken flag through a burning ceremony.
@9ZNX2MZ2mos2MO
It can be permissible if the Flag is destroyed. Thus, making the burning of flag as proper disposal.
@9FYW9ZK1yr1Y
No, in our school before, we burn the Philippine Flag if it is considered “dead” or if touched the ground.
@9DXGNWJ1yr1Y
It should be burned if the flag is too old or regulated by the government

Yes if it possess a hazard risk

This is usually random to commit in the first place but it isn't much of a huge problem
@8NZZXYY4yrs4Y
OF COURSE, burning or doing anything disrespectful to the Philippine flag shouldn't be allowed.
