The following text is also collected on the official page: "The bands in azure and gules symbolize the integrity and firmness of the Magdalene soul, grounded in justice and loyalty (azure), virtues and characters that allow historical continuity to the liberating feat. The 30 stars represent the municipalities and the District that comprise it."
