The flag of the Philippines features two horizontal stripes of blue and red with a white triangle on the left.
The blue stripe symbolizes peace, truth, and justice.
The red stripe represents courage and the blood shed for independence.
The white triangle stands for equality and fraternity.
Inside the triangle is a golden sun with eight rays, representing the first eight provinces that revolted against Spain.
Three five-pointed stars in the triangle symbolize the country’s three main islands: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Adopted officially in 1898, the flag marks the country’s struggle for freedom.
Today, it stands as a proud symbol of the Philippines’ identity, unity, and heritage.
