Historical Context:
The national flag of the Philippines was first conceived in 1897 by Filipino exiles in Hong Kong during the revolution against Spanish colonial rule and was officially adopted on June 12, 1898. The design was sewn by Marcela Agoncillo. The white triangle represents equality and fraternity, the blue band stands for peace and justice, and the red band symbolizes courage and patriotism. The eight rays of the sun represent the first eight provinces that revolted against Spain, while the three stars represent the three major island groups: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The flag is unique because it is the only national flag that can be flown upside down during wartime to signal distress. It remains a powerful symbol of Filipino independence, resilience, and national identity.
