Bohol

The flag of Bohol is a Canadian pale design (vertical tricolor) of blue, white, and red with the main part of the provincial seal in the center.
==Symbolism==
According to the official interpretation of the flag's symbolism, the blue represents nobility, the white represents purity, and the red represents courage.
Charged on the white field is the main portion of the seal of Bohol, depicting the island's history and famous landmarks: on the foreground is a tableau of the Sandugo between Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna which symbolizes the "Boholano's love of peace", while behind this are the Chocolate Hills and a field of green, symbolizing the province's natural beauty and agricultural resources. Flanking this scene are the two barongs (swords) representing the Tamblot uprising and the Dagohoy rebellion, whose tips meet at the bottom of the emblem.
A blue five-pointed star, fimbriated yellow, appears above the central emblem; on all physical versions of the flag the star always appears on the observer's right, whether on the obverse or reverse side. The lone star represents Carlos P. Garcia, the only president of the Philippines to come from Bohol: his tenure as Philippine president (1957–1961) was originally represented by a yellow star on the original provincial flag; a smaller blue star "superimposed" on the yellow star was added in 1971 after Garcia was elected president of the 1971 Constitutional Convention, even though he died the day after he took his oath. Another star is meant to be added for every Boholano that becomes president of the Philippines.Flag of Bohol on Wikipedia
