the philippine flag

I know it. I think the blue color symbolize peace. The red color symbolize war. The 3 stars symbolizes the Visayas , Mindanao and Luzon. And the Sun Symbolize Philippines.

ok i forgot to add what does the elements in d flag symbolizes.. lol.. ok the 3 stars in gold and of course the eight rayed sun.. the sun replresents the new era of determination.. and the 8 rays symbolizes the 8 provinces who fight against the Spaniards.. the 3 stars symbolizes the 3 principal geographic areas of Philippines... namely Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao.. and the red color symbolizes bravery,strenght, courage, and the blue is for noble ideas.. the white color represents purity of course.. :)

Why does our flag appear like that? The two equal horizontal bands, the sun and the triangle is inspired by the Cuban revolutionary flag. The Cubans, just like us, were colonized and fought for independence from Spain. The colors and the stars were taken from the US flag. That's what I learned in my readings before. As for what the elements of the flag represents, other responders have spilled it out: the white colored triangle is for equality; the upper dark blue (which became royal blue) is for peace, truth and justice; while the red color is for patriotism and valor. The sun stood for the progress and civilization, the rays for the first eight provinces that raised arms against Spain and the three stars for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

I think you have to argue and ask our ancestors why it looks like that.There should be no comparison with that matter. That is, one thing is for sure, each color and design has significant history, and since we came from yesterday we should respect and honor whatever it may be.

I forgot the meaning of the colors in our flag. I'm ashamed of myself for forgetting. I think Blue is for bravery and Red is for the Paghihimagsik. Sorry I can't remember what I learned in school. It's been so long I think if ever I could join the Are you smarter than a 5th graded I drop out immediately.
