- QUEZON CITY, Philippines--Former president Fidel Ramos jokingly chides Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando after the Philippine flag at the People Power Monument failed to rise (the rope snapped out of the pulley). "Isn't this MMDA property?" Ramos asked jokingly. Fernando responded with a laugh: "It's providential." The officials got it on the second try after the flag was transferred to a lower pole.
