<p style="line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;">Facebook is known for keeping its beloved users fully aware on important national holidays. The company has a certain feature that enables to blast a message to announce and greet its active users depending on its geographical location.</p>
<p style="line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;">The intelligent design of the famous company had an epic fail today when it sent a wrong message to Filipino netizens who are commemorating their <a href="http://diversityhuman.com/index.php?post/2012/05/28/Philippine-National-Flag-Day" hreflang="en" title="Philippine-National-Flag-Day">National Independence</a>. A certain <a href="http://viralpick.com/technology/facebook-ruins-philippine-independence-day.html" hreflang="en" title="facebook-ruins-philippine-independence-day">blog post</a> described the failure of Facebook.</p>
<p style="line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;">Though the mistake of Facebook wasn't really that critical to some people, thousands of Filipinos are still concerned on the graphical presentation of the national emblem of the country. The flag was inverted which could denote a very negative meaning to Filipino nationals.</p>
