Honest Mistake Inverted Philippines Flag

Honest Mistake Inverted Philippines Flag

The error came when Mr Obama met south-east Asian leaders including Philippine president Benigno Aquino in New York on Saturday. 

The inverted flag wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war.
Washington said it would investigate the ‘unfortunate’ incident while Manila said it would not affect relations between the two countries.

'This was an honest mistake,' U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Rebecca Thompson said in a statement, adding that 'the U.S. treasures its close relationship and close partnership with the Philippines.'

After all US admit their mistake.  But I hope that at least someone from the Philippines have observe and request for the reposition of our flag. And next time the organizer should be sensitive with regards to the flag position. Especially for an international events.
