First day and flag raising


Monday morning at 7am we attended the weekly flag ceremony outside of Quezon City Hall. I was struck by the ceremony itself and the importance given to it to start off the working week. Basically the Mayor of Quezon City, Herbert Batista, sat at the front with us and all the employees of the council’s various departments stood in lines to attention, sung the national anthem whilst the Philippine flag was raised and the mayor addressed them before they started work.

When I get home I am going to suggest to our Chief Executive and the Mayor of Bolton that we do the same. I have heard that there is two foot of snow in Bolton town hall square at the moment however even this would not be an excuse to prevent Bolton’s weekly flag ceremony taking place!
