Philippines at a glance: its flag, its capital Manila, its population and where it sits on the world map. Plus a way to test yourself afterwards.
Adopted in 1898 at independence from Spain, the Philippine flag has a unique feature: flown upside down, with the white triangle pointing down, it signals a state of war.
The eight-rayed sun stands for the eight provinces that first rose up, the three stars for the country’s three main island groups — Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao; blue stands for peace, red for courage.
No land border.
