The Philippine National Flag is divided into two equal bands of blue and red, and with a white equilateral triangle at its left base. In the center of the triangle is a golden sun with eight primary rays, representing the first eight provinces of the Philippines including Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna and Bantangas. At each vertex of the triangle is a five-pointed golden yellow star that represent the three main islands of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. This flag can indicate a state of war if it is displayed with the red side on top and blue if the country is at peace.
