The national flag of the Philippines has a white triangle on the left. On either side tapering off to the left are two stripes, the top one blue, the bottom one red. The white triangle contains three five-point stars and sun with eight rays. The sun symbolises freedom and its eight rays represent the first eight provinces that revolted against Spanish colonial rule. The stars symbolise the three geographical divisions of the Philippines: Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. The blue stripe stands for the equality and unity of the people. The red stripe (place on top in wartime) symbolises the readiness of the Filipinos to fight to the death of their country. On 12 June 1898, from the balcony of General Emilio Aguinaldo house in Cavite, he declared the independence of the Philippines. On this day the Philippine national flag was raised and the Philippine national anthem played for the first time. In the form of a march, the Marcha Nacional Filipina anthem was composed by Julian Felipe and the words were written by Jose Palma.
