AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE HOISTING OF THE PROVINCIAL BANNER SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE SINGING OF THE VIZCAYA HYMN EVERY FLAG RAISING CEREMONY AND ALL OTHER PUBLIC UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SINGING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

WHEREAS, flags and banners have been used for thousands of years and signify different things to various people. Still, the main reason that flags and banners are displayed is that they denote entities, including a particular country, state, business, leader, community or organization. They are visual symbols used for recognition. In addition, individual flags are a symbol of pride and respect for the ideals that the particular flag stands for;

WHEREAS, the singing of the Vizcaya Hymn in all public functions in the Local Governments ofNueva Vizcaya as mandated by Ordinance No. 2012-081 has prompted th idea of having similar legislation to require the hoisting of the Provincial Banner to instil in the minds of every Novo Vizcayanos the symbolism and ideals that it represents;

WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 8491 otherwise known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines provides for the mandatory hoisting and display of the National Flag, thus the same jurisprudence applies; ~
