    The Philippine flag color red, white and blue. The blue means- justice, the red- means courage and the white means- peace. The 3 stars are the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, exalts itself into a LUZVIMINDA.

    The reverse flag (with the red side up) started during the Filipino-American war and not during the Japanese invasion.

    The 8 rays symbolize the first provinces to rise arms against Spain but there's a controversy between 2 provinces theses are Morong(now Rizal) and Tarlac which It became the new seat of the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when Emilio Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan, this only lasted for 1 month. The 3 stars symbolize Luzon, Visayas, (originally Panay), and Mindanao. And you are correct, Philippines independence day is July 4, 1946, and not the fake independence day of June 12, 1898.

    The indepence day is July 12, 1898 because our heroes fought for the indepence against Spain, unlike the July 4th that was just given. Freedom is a right and not something to be just taken away and then give back again like the US did.

    funfact: as soon as a filipino sees the philippine flag upside down, they uncontrollably switch into a war-timing footing instantly and will attack with complete disregard for their own life. so don't go flipping our flag nonchalantly in the streets, its our "unleash hell into the skies above" switch :D
