The Problem

Introduction:

The Philippine flag is the National emblem of the Filipinos. It symbolizes the
Philippine freedom,history and sovereignty.

According to the curator of the Aguinaldo shrine, its important to revisit the
history of the flag and be reminded of how heroes fought for our independence. It
should be given importance for it reflects the love for country, and it is one of the
ways to value the sacrifices of the people who died protecting and defending our
motherland.

According to Republic Act No. 8491, otherwise known as the “An Act
prescribing the code of the national flag, anthem, motto, coat of arms and other
heraldic items and devices of the Philippines, All government offices and
educational institution shall henceforth observed the flag racing ceremony every
Monday morning and the flag lowering ceremony every Friday afternoon. The
ceremony shall be simple and dignified and shall include the playing or singing of
the Philippine national anthem.

This problem had accumulated from tolerable to habitual state and it has a
significant impact to the student’s performance at school. Most of the class had
been influenced by their companions and this would be embedded in their minds
pattern until college and ultimately to their vacation and adventures in life. Other
students had just the difficulty in optimizing their time as their subject related
activities grows in bulk.

To figure it out, the researcher’s intentions is to isolate the primary reason of

tardiness of some students who are not active in attending the flag ceremony at
school and proactive intervention will be executed so as to curtail if it will not
completely do away with the problem.

As the school invest discipline to have a world class graduates globally

competitive and well rounded individuals, the researcher’s had in mind to discover
the reasons behind this punctuality virtue which is losing in ground.
 We chose to study this issue because we want to know why Students don’t
attend the flag raising [Link] want to let the students learn and realize that
our Flag Raising Ceremony has a vital role on us,as citizens here in our country.
