Those in military, scouting, security guard, and citizens military training uniforms give a hand salute.

Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine flag states: "Ako ay Filipino / Buong katapatang nanunumpa Sa watawat ng Pilipinas / At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag Na may dangal, Katarungan at Kalayaan / Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang Maka-Diyos / Maka-tao Makakalikasan at Makabansa."
