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.

LUPANG HINIRANG (The Philippine National Anthem)
LUPANG HINIRANG
Bayang magiliw
Bayang magiliw
Perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay
Lupang hinirang
Duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig
Di ka pasisiil
Sa dagat at bundok
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw na kailan pa may di magdidilim
Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo.
