Flag of the Philippines

Last crawled date: 10 months, 1 week ago

The flag of the Philippines presents a sun with eight rays and three stars, all in gold, on an equilateral white triangle placed on the side of the flagpole. The upper half of the remaining area is blue, while the lower half is red. The proportions of the flag are 1: 2. The meanings of the colors, red, white and blue, are currently described as follows: the white triangle represents equality and brotherhood; blue stands for peace, truth and justice; and red for patriotism and value. However, the original declaration of independence declared that the three colors were inspired by the American flag, as a manifestation of the Filipinos' gratitude towards the USA, for their help against the Spaniards. #flag #Philippines
