A moviegoer was arrested after failing to stand up as the Philippine National Anthem was being played at the City Mall Cinema here Thursday evening, September 6.
Senior Superintendent William Segun, the Cavite police director, identified the offender as Ria Chua Bautista, 28, food technologist and resident of Perpetual Village 7 in Barangay Mambog 5 in Bacoor City.
Bautista was the lone offender based on video footage and screenshot during the Cavite police’s simultaneous implementation of “Implan Bandila” across cinemas in the province.
Segun said their “Implan Bandila” is enforced in pursuit of the implementation of Republic Act No. 8491, or the “Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines” on orders of Police Regional Office (PRO)-Calabarzon Director Chief Superintendent Edward Carranza.
Carranza directed the Calabarzon police to enforce the law in all theaters, cinemas, and public events across the region to instill a culture of patriotism and sense of duty.
According to Segun, the police operatives observed that most of the audience in movie theaters respected the singing of the Philippine National Anthem.
Only Bautista was the reported offender of the “Flag and Heraldic Code” and was accosted by the authorities after their “Implan Bandila” operation.
Earlier on September 5, 34 moviegoers arrested for ignoring national anthem
