Ok
My teacher told us that the national flower of the Philippines is ilang-ilang because sampaguita/jasmine flower does not originated from the Philippines.
Ano po ba talaga ang totoo?
In the year 2013, the Philippine Senate passed a bill declaring waling-waling as the national flower alongside the sampaguita. A similar bill in the House of Representatives had already been passed in 2012. Normally, the bill would become law after being signed by the President.
Due to the confusion that a second flower would create, however, the bill was vetoed by President Benigno Aquino III. The veto prevented the waling-waling from becoming the second national flower.
Today, only the sampaguita is considered the national flower of the Philippines.
I think the sampaguita is the national flower of the Philippines Bec… It’s symbol of peace…..(And it’s my only opinion IDK what is the true…)
