A short story about flags
My company, Philexcel, offers subleasing of offices and factory buildings to locators inside Clark Freeport Zone. As such, we cater to different nationalities who have businesses inside the freeport zone. I just found out recently, that there is a portion in our area where there are flags of different countries, representing all countries of our locators inside our business park.
These different world flags are prominently displayed fronting the M. Roxas Highway in Clark for everyone to see. When I went to see to see them, it is like passing in front of the United Nations building in Metro Manila wherein different state flags are displayed.
To be honest, I never noticed them before. I saw the flagpoles but never really bothered to looked up and really see them. But I learned that some of our locators are very much conscious of their flag and how it is displayed.
Some would even call the office, especially the new tenants whose country has not been represented before, and ask us why his country’s flag is not displayed. There are also others who would call to tell us if their flags is not properly displayed or is dirty.
I guess we should be conscious of our flag too and observe if it is displayed properly, if it is clean or if it needs to be replaced. It is after all, it is the symbol of our country.
