Little Girl saves Philippine Flag

I saw that in the news. I only saw the pictures but I totally not understand the whole story behind it. I think I will do the same unless it will not harm my life. I will get the flag, save it and dry it and return it to school. But her bravery is inspirational since she doesn't mind the harm that can come through but what matters is the Philippine Flag and the pride. She only shows that she have respect for the our flag and very nationalistic.

Yeah I've seen this on the news, the beginning part. I have to get off the bus that's why I didn't catch the rest of it. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this is "wow, that pic looks so heroic". It really does right? It looks like a picture of the Katipunan about to attack during the revolution era. The idea of anyone, especially a girl, saving a flag just gives me goosebumps. I wouldn't have done the same thing. My mindset is, it's already safe up the pole, it's us who needs to get on higher ground. Bringing the flag home would only give a chance of it being swept by the flood. Anyway, the idea and the picture is still heroic. (hehe not exactly the right pic, but it's cute and somewhat relevant.)

Pretty nice act of bravery! I salute that little girl and her brother for saving the flag. Her parents and school taught them well. I agree, there's still a lot of hope for the Filipinos!

What an interesting news! Saving the Philippine flag than any other things is such a good act. Philippines has still hope to improve. There are some Filipinos who still hope for a better change. Let us do our part as well.

Janella is her name. She is an orphan. Her aunt and her brother were trying to save their tiny home. Her brother was the flag caretaker and he instructed his little sister to secure the flag. She did, through raging high waters. Complain? Nah! That is us, but not this girl who, in her frail and humbling existence, holds love of country in her heart.

Whenever I see the Flag flying, I think of all the people who sacrificed their lives just so we could have the honor to raise it up and sing our National anthem, if we have more citizen like her then definitely our country has a good fighting chance to be great again.

I can sense there is nationalism within her. I salute this girl for being so. I hope the government takes care of her and educate her further so that what's good within her will be shown and propagated so that others follow the good example.

yeah, i saw the news about it. it raised and stirred my emotions seeing the flag being carried away from harm by a school-aged girl. i think that's how education is making a positive impact on our children and youth. the nationalistic fervor in us is still alive, i suppose. and it is being demonstrated when there is a great calamity which is able to unite us under difficult circumstances.

I saw it on the news too and I'm happy that it caused more awareness on loving our nation. I hope we do something more than carrying our flag. I hope we can unite to uplift our country.

tHATS great if youth now a days are just like them Im sure theres still a hope :)

Well what I like about it is the shot or the photography. The Philippine unfurled or ruined by the typhoon. The girl is recognized because she demonstrates nationalism. It is something that lifts the spirit. It means no matter what calamity happens, the Filipinos would always stand up.
