Criminal liability of a minor desecrating the PHL flag
THE video of a high-school student “using our Philippine flag as a floor mop” went viral in social media a couple of days ago. We immediately requested our Department of Education (DepEd) National Capital Region to investigate the incident. During media interviews, I was asked whether there is a penal sanction for such a very reprehensible act and whether such penal sanction is applicable to the minor high-school student involved in the incident.
