Surely you’re joking
Flag of Amulang, Cagayan, Philippines.
This is someone’s hand drawn proposal for the flag…
Please tell you’re joking
It is literally hand-drawn based on a local contest.

Others users on Facebook mentioned that it is more of a poster-making contest. Entries #4 and #7 look decent enough.
I have yet to see photos of it in the wild.
Even though it's really amateurish, I actually like this one. The graphic is well-balanced, and conveys the sun and hills and rivers and happy people. And the text is pretty well laid out (not good by any professional standards, but could be worse), and their printing isn't bad - it could almost be one of those fake-handwriting fonts.It is literally hand-drawn based on a local contest.

I do have an issue with the unnecessary quotation marks, but that's pretty minor.
If you don't know the context, actually this is a good simple design in itself.... Perhaps the sword could be less cliparty but otherwise it's clearly recognizable
Full list below. Philippine city and municipality flags are terrible. Props for the municipality flags of Bohol and Bukidnon provinces though.

I mean what happened to the most creative Filipino flag makers?
It seems that making interesting flag designs is a felony
More accurately, no one really cares about municipality flags
The joke about it being a felony to make good flags made me laugh.
Just like the contest which as a "banner making" one, Filipinos tend to confuse banners for flags. Hence most of our flags look like welcome signs instead.
Really, who decided that every Philippine municipality needs its own flag?
Local government units often hold contests for a banner design. Since it is a banner-making contest, those who submit entries often make banners, posters, and what is like a welcome sign instead.
Would despite the name of province, we should note that the first flag is of a county, and one which may not include the entire island. A bit confusing on the status of one of the cities, and the various Wikipedia maps show it differently. The flag of the region it is in looks nice, as do the coats f arms themselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an intern I’m thing or something for social services.Since @ramones1986 already mentioned about the Philippine provinces flags being bad and you can look it up on Wikipedia, but here's some special mentions:
Two seals occupying the upper half of the field and a text on the lower field. Just no.
Province of Sultan Kudarat. I don't know what to say if this is a banner or a billboard.
The next one is a municipality flag
Banaue, Ifugao. Looks like a kid drew this and the local government unit just adapted it.

The nightmare of non-creative flags plagues the Philippines.
The Pocatello flag sucks.
