The symbols on the white triangle of the
Philippine flag are an eight
rayed sun and three stars in gold. The sun represents the
dawning of a new era of self determination that was desired in
1897 (when the flag was first designed) after the
Spanish-American war and the US promise of independence,
which was granted in 1946. The 8 rays on the sun stand for the
8
provinces that rose in revolt against Spanish rule in the late
19th century. The 3 stars stand for the 3 principal geographic
areas of the country, Luzon, the
Visayas and Mindanao.
To complete the symbolism of the flag, the red stripe
represents courage and bravery and the blue stripe is for
noble ideals. The white triangle stands for the Katipunan, a
revolutionary organization that led the revolt
against Spain and the color white represents peace and purity.
This flag is unique in that in peacetime, the blue stripe is
uppermost but during wartime,
the red stripe is on top.
Each flag shown is
the flag used by that
nation's government and displayed at the U.N.
headquarters. Where noted the "civil" flag is also
available. It is identical to the "government" flag except
the seal is omitted.
Flags for Outdoor use are made of 100% heavyweight
nylon and finished with strong canvas headings and brass
grommets.
