Coat of arms Coming soon

The Philippines' flag has a white equilateral triangle at the hoist bearing a golden sun and three stars, with horizontal blue and red bands. The sun's eight rays represent the first provinces to revolt against Spain, and the three stars the main island groups. Uniquely, the flag is inverted in wartime, flying red-up to signal a state of war.
