The Philippine flag has a unique design with two horizontal bands (blue on top and red below) and a white equilateral triangle on the hoist side. Within the triangle is a golden-yellow sun with eight rays, surrounded by three five-pointed stars at each vertex. The blue signifies peace, truth, and justice; the red stands for patriotism and valor; while the white triangle symbolizes liberty, equality, and fraternity. The sun and stars denote Philippine regions and historical significance.
