As we know facebook doesn’t skip any chance to greet its users. Therefore, Facebook greeted Filipinos by representing the Philippine flag captioned with “Here’s to all of the Philippines’s health, happiness and prosperity. However, the flag was inverted. Facebook gets the Philippine flag wrong and unintentionally declared the “State of war”. According to Philippines, the country’s flag with the red part at the top and Blue part at the bottom resembles that the country is in a “State of war” Philippine Star newspaper noticed the mistake and stated through their facebook page “LOOK: In honor of Philippine Independence Day, Facebook’s home page greets Filipino netizens with a banner of the Philippine flag—except that it’s displayed with the red part at the top and the blue at the bottom, signifying the country is in a state of war.” Some of the Filipino internet users didn’t miss their chance to point out the blunder of facebook, whereas some of them seem to poke fun at the situation. Many facebook users shared their feelings through twitter https://twitter.com/neyvillasenor/status/741802198082850816
