Flying a flag upside down is an accepted distress signal.
Section 10 of the Philippines' Republic Act 8491 states: 'The flag, if flown from a flagpole, shall have its blue field on top in time of peace and the red field on top in time of war; if in a hanging position, the blue field shall be to the right (left of the observer) in time of peace, and the red field to the right (left of the observer) in time of war.'Copyright © 2026 eLLeNow.com All Rights Reserved.
