The flag of Philippines is composed of two equal horizontal bands of blue and red, with a white equilateral triangle superimposed on the hoist side of the field. This triangle has its base on the hoist end, spans about two-fifth the width of the field and bears a central golden-yellow sun with eight rays and a five-pointed golden-yellow star at each vertex.
