Philippines Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for the Philippines with our Philippines Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of the Republic of the Philippines, a powerful symbol of its independence, its historical struggles, and its enduring national pride.

The Philippines banner is unique for its design that signifies a state of peace or war. It consists of two equal horizontal bands: a royal blue band at the top and a scarlet red band at the bottom. A white equilateral triangle is located at the hoist (left) side, extending from the hoist to the center of the flag. Within this white triangle, a golden-yellow eight-rayed sun is centrally placed, and a golden-yellow five-pointed star is positioned at each of the triangle’s three vertices.

The royal blue stripe symbolizes peace, truth, and justice. The scarlet red stripe represents patriotism, courage, and valor, symbolizing the blood shed for freedom and independence. The white equilateral triangle stands for liberty, equality, and fraternity – ideals that inspired the Philippine Revolution.

The golden-yellow eight-rayed sun represents unity, freedom, people’s democracy, and sovereignty. Each of its eight rays originally represented the eight provinces that first revolted against Spanish colonial rule: Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Laguna, and Batangas. The three golden-yellow five-pointed stars at the corners of the triangle represent the three main geographical island groups of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates the Philippines’ profound historical narrative, its diverse geography, and its aspirations for a unified and prosperous future. Notably, in times of war, the flag is flown with the red stripe on top. The current flag was officially adopted on June 12, 1898, and later re-adopted with minor modifications on May 28, 1936.

Our Philippines mini flag patches measure 1.5″ x 2.5″ (approximately 3.8 cm x 6.3 cm), making them an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items. Each patch comes with an iron-on backing for quick and easy initial application to most fabrics. However, for the most secure and permanent attachment, especially on garments that will be frequently washed or endure heavy use, sew-on installation is highly recommended. This ensures your Philippines flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

Whether you’re a traveler, a collector, or simply a proud citizen, our national flag patches are the perfect way to express yourself.
