House Deputy Speaker Jesus Crispin Remulla apologized to his action that while the national anthem is being played, the congressman was caught taking down notes. Republic Act 8491 or the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines mandates all the attending public to stand at attention, sing and face the Philippine flag in public gathering.
In a video posted by Rappler on Twitter, Remulla said he is sorry for his action, an idea suddenly came into mind and he decided to write down before he forgot the question he planned to ask during the hearing.

“Unang-una bago ako magsimula, I’d like to apologize for an earlier incident na ako po’y may sinusulat na note nung nag-flag ceremony tayo. As usual, the ABS-CBN people are the ones playing it up now on social media. But I will forgive them,” Remulla said.
“Ang sa akin ho, I wrote the note – hindi ko ho excuse ’to – because something went into my mind for the questions I will ask. Ako’y humihingi ng dispensa sa ating mga kababayan,” Remulla added.
