Okay, I'll give you five seconds. Go, go, go. Click on it. Alright, now that you did, let's go. Number one, the flag was once banned in the Philippines. In 1907, at number 1697 or the flag law of 1907 was passed and it prohibited the display of the Philippine flag, which was then replaced by the stars and stripes of the U.S. After 11 years in the pandevaration from the U.S., this law was repealed and the Philippine flag was reinstated as the nation's official standard. Number two, the Philippine flag was heavily inspired by the U.S. flag. The similarity between the two flags is not a mere coincidence. As a form of profound gratitude, the designers of the flag decided to honor the U.S. for its disinterested protection of the Philippines. Number three, the white triangle represents the Katipuna. As the Philippines' most dominant and influential force during the Spanish Revolution, the society sparked the masses into fighting for their rights and our countries so ranked. Furthermore, the triangle also refers to the eye of the providence, which was adopted from Freemasonry and later inspired the Katipunans' ideologies, traditions and rituals. Number four, the shades of red and blue were revised. In 1985, former President Ferdinand Marcos attempted to change the shades of these two colors, but his proposal was rejected after the Edster Revolution. However, during the 19th year of the Proclamation of Independence in 1990, Navy Blue was replaced with royal blue. Number five, the three stars did not lose on Panay and Mindanao. The three stars signify lose on Panay and Mindanao, not lose on Visayas and Mindanao. The proclamation on Independence in 1898 referred to this as the archipelagos, three principal islands. The stars commemorate the places where the Spanish Revolution started. Number six, the sun combines two representations. The race indicated eight provinces, Manila, Cavite, Bulacán, Pampanga, Mevisia, Batan, Laguna, Batangas, and the foremost regions that supported the revolt. But the sun also embodies the gigantic steps made by the suns of the country along the path of progress and civilization. Number seven, the Philippine, Cuban, and Puerto Rican flags are strikingly similar. If you put these three flags side by side, you would be able to notice the physical aspects that they share. Aside from these striking resemblances, these three countries were also former Spanish colonies in the 19th century.
