The national flag of the Republic of the Philippines is a real gem! Bicolored with bands of royal blue and scarlet red, featuring a white triangle at the hoist, in the center of the triangle is a golden yellow sun with eight primary rays, which represent the country's first group of provinces that started the 1896 Philippine Revolution against Spain. At each vertex of the triangle is a five-pointed golden yellow star, each of which represent the country's three main regions - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
