The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed all local government units (LGUs) to display the Philippine flag in public spaces on August 25, 2025 in observance of National Heroes Day pursuant to Republic Act No. 9492.

Through Memorandum Circular 2025-085, the DILG enjoins governors, mayors, and barangay leaders to ensure the proper and prominent display of the flag as a symbol of unity and nationalism, echoing President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call for patriotism and civic responsibility.

This year’s theme, “Isang Diwa, Isang Lahi, Isang Bayanihan,” highlights the bravery of Filipino heroes, both known and unknown, who fought for freedom and dignity. Official rites will be held at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City, led by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines with partner agencies.

The DILG calls on all Filipinos to keep the legacy of our heroes alive through service, solidarity, and love of country.
