Inverted Philippines flag in US-Asean summit

 Is the Phillipines in a state of war?

The U.S. government said Sunday it made an "honest mistake" when it displayed an inverted Philippine flag — which wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war — in a meeting hosted by President Barack Obama..

      The recent visit of President Benigno "noynoy" Aquino in the U.S. didn't end without a controversy after the Philippines flag  was displayed upside down during the U.S. Asean summit which signifies that the Philippines is in a state of war.

The Philippine flag indicate a state of war if it is displayed with the red side on top, or on the observer's left when the flag is displayed vertically.
