THE LEADERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT GOES TO HONG KONG AS WISHED BY THE SPANIARDS ON THE TREATY OF BIAK NA BATO AND THEY WERE CALLED AS HONG KONG JUNTA IT IS LEADED BY GENERAL OR EL PRESIDENTE EMILIO AGUINALDO.
WHILE AGUINALDO IS IN HONG KONG HE IS THINKING THE DESIGN OF THE PHILIPPINE FLAG HE SAID WE NEED SYMBOLS TO ESTABLISHED A NEW GOVERNMENT BUT TO ESTABLISHED IT YOU NEED TO HAVE A NATIONAL MUSIC OR ANTHEM AND A NATIONAL FLAG.
THE 8 RAYS OF THE SUN IN THE PHILIPPINE FLAG DOESN'T SYMBOLIZES THE 8 PROVINCES WHO SAID THAT THEY ARE THE ONE WHO FIRST FOUGHT THE SPANIARDS OF COURSE THE MINDANAO REGION GET MAD BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE THE ONE WHO FIRST FOUGHT THE SPANIARDS, THE 8 RAYS OF THE SUN SYMBOLIZES THE 8 PROVINCES UNDER MARTIAL LAW WHEN THE 1896 REVOLUTION STARTED IT IS UNDER GENERAL RAMON BLANCO.
THE FIRS PHILIPPINE FLAG WAS SHOWN IN THE PUBLIC ON JUNE 12, 1898 ACCORDING TO THE PHILIPPINE BOOKS BUT THAT WAS WRONG IT IS FIRST USED ON A WAR ON MAY 28, 1898 IN THE BATTLE OF ALAPAN THAT'S WHY MAY 28 IS FLAG DAY.
THE WHITE TRIANGLE IN THE PHILIPPINE FLAG SYMBOLIZES UNITY THE COLOR BLUE SYMBOLIZES FREEDOM AND JUSTICE THE RED SYMBOLIZES HEROISM THE 3 STARS SYMBOLIZES LUZON, VISAYAS, AND MINDANAO WHILE THE 8 RAYS OF THE SUN SYMBOLIZES THE 8 PROVINCES UNDER MARTIAL LAW DURING 1896 REVOLUTION.
WHEN THE AMERICANS CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES THEY PROHIBITED THE USE OF ANY SYMBOLS AND FLAG OF THE PHILIPPINES THAT LAW EXIST UNTIL 12 YEARS BUT GOVERNOR GENERAL FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON REMOVED THE SAID LAW. IT IS ALSO PROHIBITED DURING THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION BUT JOSE P. LAUREL INSIST TO USE THE PHILIPPINE FLAG INSTEAD OF THE JAPANESE FLAG.
MANUEL L. QUEZON DECLARES EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 23 ON MARCH 25 1936 IT IS STATED THAT THEY WILL USE THE DESIGN THAT GENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO USED BUT THEY REMOVED THE FACE IN THE SUN. MARCELA AGONCILLO WAS THE ONE WHO SEWED THE PHILIPPINE FLAG .
WE ARE ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES WHO IS STRICT WHEN IT COMES TO THE FLAG BECAUSE DURING 1930'S A CHINESE BUSINESSMAN HAS A LAUNDRY SHOP IN BINONDO DISPLAYS A POSTER WITH THE PHILIPPINE FLAG ON IT AS IF IT SAYS THAT ALL KINDS OF FABRICS ARE WASHED IN THERE INCLUDING THE PHILIPPINE FLAG. THE GOVERNMENT FINED HIM FOR 20 PESOS ( ITS A BIG AMOUNT BEFORE) FOR NOT RESPECTING THE FLAG.
THE GOVERNMENT CREATED THE FLAG AND HERALDIC CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES IT HAS GUIDELINES THAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW FOR EXAMPLE IT IS STATED IN THE FLAG AND HERALDIC CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES THAT
1. THE PHILIPPINE FLAG IS PROHIBITED TO BE USED AS COSTUME OR CLOTHES
2. THE PHILIPPINE FLAG CANNOT TOUCH THE GROUND
IF IT IS TORN ONLY A BOY SCOUT OF THE PHILIPPINES CAN BURY IT TO THE GROUND.
