Parañaque City Hall officials and employees accord respect to the Philippine flag, while the Philippine national anthem is being played at the City Hall grounds on July 25. Mayor Eric Olivarez, through city administrator Atty. Voltaire Dela Cruz, in a memorandum has urged all city officials and employees to attend the regular Monday flag raising ceremony as this is their obligation to fulfill as public servants. Civil Service Commission memorandum Circular No. 19 requires all agency heads to establish internal guidelines to strictly monitor the attendance of their personnel in flag raising and to ensure strict compliance.
