The University of the East (UE) released a letter on Monday saying that its Board of Trustees dismissed the high school students involved in the Philippine flag-defiling video. The video, which went viral around February 9, showed a student with a Philippine flag on a stick, using it to clean the floor of a classroom. Dr Ester Albano Garcia, UE’s President and Chief Academic Officer, said in the statement that the students were dismissed “in view of the gravity of their infraction,” with the act said to be an affront to the UE community and to the ideals and traditions of the country.
