I heard about this thing on the news some days ago. But it never got so hyped up it easily escaped my lowly memory. The biggest Philippine Flag, spread over at some sports field or vacant lot in the town of Liloan, Cebu!
How did I know? I just accidentally saw it as my flight for Manila was taking off. I was not even looking for it (for I did not know it’d be there), I was looking at my ‘future home’ and admiring my future neighborhood (though this time still has got no houses)!
Hey, on this trip, I was on the way to MNL, but I was not going home just yet! I was just transiting at NAIA 3, on my way from Cebu to San Jose (story later). Thus, while I waited for that connecting flight at Terminal 3, I browsed the web about that big wide flag and learned some things…
This was the same flag unfurled in Aritao, Nueva Ecija (2006), then in Israel (2007) by a certain Grace Galindez Gupana, setting a Guinness World Record.
Well, whatever! At least I got to see it. From far up in the air, that is!
It's Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya
