| The white triangle with equal
sides of the flag is symbolic of equality among men. The sun
represents the gigantic strides that have been made by the Sons
of this land on the road to progress and civilization. The eight
rays of the sun in the triangle represent the first eight united
provinces that revolted for our independence. The three stars
in the triangle stand for the three major geographical divisions
of the country - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The red field
symbolizes the willingness of the Filipino people to shed blood
in defense of their country. The blue field stands for common
unity and the noble aspirations of the Filipino people. The
white field stands for purity. |
