Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
OCTOBER 22, 1919
The 5th Philippine Legislature through Act No. 2871 repealed Act No. 1696, “an Act to prohibit the display of flags, banners, emblems, or devices used in the Philippine Islands for the purpose of rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States and the display of Katipunan flags, banners, emblems, or devices, and for other purposes.”
Act No. 2871 restored the use of the Philippine flag and the Governor-General was mandated to designate a day considered as an official holiday that will celebrate the restoration of the use of the Filipino flag.
