Philippines is making waves around the globe, not because of the series of storms criss-crossing the country nor the tremors last Tuesday, but for unfurling a record breaking Israeli Flag after weeks of anticipation. Side by side the flag is a slightly lesser-sized Philippine Flag which curiously is displayed in a state of war with its red field displayed on top . Hopefully, this is not even remotely prophetic.
Probably, so as not to dampen all the efforts and preparations, the Israeli Government sanctioned its display despite its illegal size which is not in the ratio prescribed by the Israel Flag Law. I also wonder what happened to the long held tradition that prohibits the Flags to touch the ground?
A canned press release explained how it all started for the Filipina patron. "God spoke to me in thunder and lightning. The Lord said, 'Make the flag of Israel, the standard of my people."
