About the flag

The municipal flag is plain red with its emblem centered on it. The emblem is red and white with black lining (rendered as yellow stitching on the flag?), quasi-heraldic in nature: The shield has a Samnite point, pointy chief corners, and a domed top, and it is divided per pale, the sinister including a sun sector above the outline of a mountain with a plume of smoke, surely standing for the island’s huge volcano. (I cannot interpret any other details.) Below the shield, a white scroll reading "Município de São Filipe" in black capitals.

The exact depiction of the emblem on the flag seems to vary or even differ from the official logo image online, as suggested by this photo of the 2013 Flag Day parade, where the scroll end is parallel to the bottom edge of the flag. See more images of both depictions in this slideshow hosted in the official website. Sadly the heraldry page of the official website is so far empty.
