Philippine Flag, the white triangle stands for equality and fraternity; the blue field for peace, truth and justice;
and the red field for patriotism and valor. The eight primary rays of the sun represent the first eight provinces (Batangas, Bulacan,
Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac) that sought independence from Spain and were placed under martial law by
the Spaniards at the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896. The three stars represent the three major geographical divisions of
the country: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

The Philippine flag is unique in the sense that it can indicate a state of war when the red field is displayed on top,
or on the observer's left when the flag is displayed vertically, with the white equilateral triangle at the top end.
