Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya,

I read the Law and was surprised.. According to the law the coat of
Philippines are without eagle and lion now! Is this correct?
Victor Lomantsov, 2 January 2002
I was at the Philippine Senate today and brought your up your observation
with the Senate President. You are indeed correct, and that was precisely the
intention of the law. Officially, then, the state arms have been deprived of
their eagle and the lion. The problem is, according to the Senate President is
that everyone is refusing to use the revised arms.
Manuel L. Quezon III, 25 January 2002
It appears the House of Representatives of the Philippines has passed a bill regarding the symbols of that nation. It still has to pass in the Philippines Senate. Here are some of the bill's key provisions:
This information on the National Flag of the Philippines is taken from PNS
234:1989 'PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD - Specification for the National Flag of
the Philippines', Bureau of Standards (Department of Trade and Industry):
4...TYPES
The flag shall be of three type plans:
Type I. National (civil, state or war flag)
Type II. Ensign (Navy)
Type III. Merchant Marine
5. SIZE AND DESIGN
5.1 The National Flag of the Philippines shall conform to the requirements
prescribed in Executive Order No23 dated 25 March 1936 as follows:
5.1.1 The flag shall be rectangular with its maximum length twice its width or
its minimum length twice the altitude of the equilateral triangle.
5.1.2 The white field of the flag shall be an equilateral triangle, each side of
which is equal to the width of the flag.
5.1.3 The width of the red and blue stripes shall each be one-half the width of
the flag.
5.1.4 The solid golden sunburst in the middle of the white field (see figure 1)
shall be without any marking and shall have eight rays, equally spaced , the arc
with the sun ray X, shall equal the arc between rays Y. Two opposite rays shall
be in the horizontal axis and two in the vertical axis. The other two pairs of
two opposite rays shall be at a 45 degree angle with the vertical and horizontal
axis. The diameter of the sun shall be one-fifth the width of the flag. Each ray
shall have three beams, the middle or major beam twice as wide as the other two
minor beams found in either side of the major beam. The length of each major
beam shall be five-ninths of the diameter of the sun and length of each of the
minor beams shall be four-fifths of the major beam.
5.1.5 Each of the three golden stars in the corners of the triangular field
shall be five-pointed with one point directed towards the vertex of the angle
enclosing it. The diameter of the circle circumscribing the each star shall be
five-ninths of the diameter of the sun and the diameter of circle inscribed in
each star shall be two-ninths of the diameter of the sun. The distance of the
centre of each star from each corner of the triangular field shall be one-half
of the diameter of the sun.
5.1.6 The hoist side of the triangular field of the flag shall be trimmed with
canvas approximately one-fifth of the diameter of the sum in width. The width of
the trimmed edge shall not be counted when determining the length of( the flag.
NOTE - The dimensions for types I, II and III are the same.
Figure One conforms with the above in EVERY WAY BUT ONE, and that concerns THE
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STARS AND THE CORNERS OF THE TRIANGLE. In Figure One the
distance is shown visually and given in figures as being one-half the diameter
of the sun FROM THE CORNER OF THE TRIANGLE TO THE OUTER EDGE OF THE CIRCLE
CIRCUMSCRIBING THE STARS. This would present a problem except for two other
sources, one of which also places the sun and gives colours:
The National Historical Institute (NHI) 'which regulates the design, colours,
materials and craftsmanship and other matters pertaining to the National Flag'
(writing for the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Trade and Industry)
put out a coloured diagram headed 'Technical Specifications of the Philippine
Flag' which is undated but refers to 1981. This too conforms to the provisions
given above except that IT ALSO PLACES THE STARS AT ONE-HALF THE WIDTH OF THE
SUN FROM THE CORNERS TO THE OUTER ARC OF THE CIRCLE CONTAINING THE STARS. In
addition it also places the sun as being one-half the diameter of the sun from
the hoist edge (or the same as the star from the apex of the triangle), and
gives the colours referring to the standard colours reference of America, 10th
Edition, 1981 as blue, Cable No. 80173, white, Cable No. 80001, red, Cable No.
80108 and golden yellow, Cable No. 80068.
Finally and to confirm that the provisions for placing the stars given in 5.1.5
are, in fact, a mistake, I would refer the excellent specification on P141 of
the 1939 Edition of the Flaggenbuch which (obviously based on the 1936 Executive
Order supposedly confirmed in 1989) also places the stars from the outer circle.
