The flag of the Philippines consists of two equal horizontal bands of blue (top) and red, with a white equilateral triangle at the hoist containing a golden-yellow sun with eight primary rays and three five-pointed stars. The blue signifies peace, truth, and justice; red represents patriotism and valor; white stands for equality and fraternity; the sun embodies unity, freedom, and the dawn of a new era; and the three stars denote Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It was first flown on June 12, 1898, during the declaration of independence from Spain.
