This stylized yellow sunburst is the central element of the national flag of the Philippines, featuring a circular center and eight primary rays extending outward, with smaller secondary rays between them. The eight main rays symbolize the first eight provinces that rose in revolt against Spanish colonial rule: Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna, and Batangas. The design reflects both national unity and the dawn of freedom.
