The flag of Principal is horizontally divided yellow-green with a blue
triangle placed along the hoist and a red star at the intersection of the three
fields.
Blue represents the water resources of the parish (rivers and
brooks) and the clear and beautiful sky that covers it.
Yellow represents
handicrafts made by skillful women.
Green represents the profuse
and extensive vegetation of the páramo [the alpine tundra ecosystem specific to
northern Andes], the apple orchards and the abundant crop production, source of
income for the households.
The red star represents the blood irrigating the
veins of each inhabitant, the same that was shed by the hero Olivo Rivera during
the Cenepa War.

Olivo Rivera (1974-1995), born in Principal, served in the Gualaquiza Forest
Battalion (No. 63); he was killed on 27 January 1995 by a grenade during the
attack by Peruvian soldiers. The Cenepa War, fought from 26 January to 28
February 1995, was the last episode of a persistent territorial dispute between
Ecuador and Peru. "The definitive resolution of the border disputes between the
two nations" was eventually proclaimed on 26 October 1998 in Brasilia.
