[๐๐ก ๐ฃ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฆ] Following the provisions of Republic Act No. 8491 (The Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines), Davao de Oro State College conducted the ceremonial retirement of unserviceable Philippine flags today, June 8, 2026, at the DdOSC Main Campus.
Held during the weekly flag convocation, SUC President I Dr. Lilybeth M. Matunhay led the ceremony which served as a solemn reminder of the respect, dignity, and reverence accorded to the Philippine flag as a national symbol.
As part of the ceremony, the unserviceable Philippine flags were respectfully retired by burning, in accordance with the dignified manner prescribed for flags no longer fit for display. The ashes were then gathered and buried, symbolizing a final act of honor for the national emblem that once represented the countryโs freedom, sovereignty, unity, and shared aspirations.
Through this meaningful observance, DdOSC joins the entire Filipino nation in upholding the proper care, respect, and veneration of the Philippine flag.
