Philippine National Flag - Symbol of Sovereignty and National Identity #108269 (License: Personal Use)

The national flag of the Philippines consists of two equal horizontal bands of royal blue (top) and scarlet red, with a white equilateral triangle at the hoist containing a golden-yellow sun with eight primary rays and three five-pointed stars. The sun symbolizes freedom, while the eight rays represent the first eight provinces that revolted against Spanish rule; the three stars stand for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The flag is unique in that it is flown upside-down during times of war, signaling a state of conflict.
