Wiki:
The National Flag of the Philippines (Filipino: Pambansang
Watawat ng Pilipinas) is a horizontal flag bicolor with equal bands of royal
blue and scarlet, and with a white, equilateral triangle at the hoist. In the
center of the triangle is a golden-yellow sun with eight primary rays, each
representing a Philippine province.At each vertex of the triangle is a
five-pointed, golden-yellow star, each of which representing one of the
country's three main island groups—Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the central
star originally referred to Panay.
A unique feature of this flag is its ability to indicate a
state of war if it is displayed with the red side on top, which is effectively
achieved by flipping the flag upside-down.
