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!
