We really can’t get enough of the three stars and the sun. Here are more FYI-must-read about flags, flags, and more flags.

The Philippine flag has been known worldwide as the only flag that is displayed upside-down when the country is in war being the color red on top and the blue at the bottom.

It isn’t only the human being who underwent an evolution, the Pinoy flag did as well. The first flag designed by Andres Bonifacio was called the Bonifacio flag. Then came the Katipunan flag, Llanera’s flag, Pio del Pilar’s flag, and the Magdiwang flag. When finally, then President Manuel L. Quezon standardized the PH flag’s appearance through an executive order in March 25, 1936.

The floors of Aguinaldo Shrine is made up of jigsaw-puzzled flags. The 2003 Oakwood Mutineers wore the Magdalo flag, one of the earlier versions of the recent flag, as an armband.

Stay tuned for more.

Quezon City or QC, which used to be the capital from 1948 to 1976, is the country’s melting pot. People from different provinces migrate to this location every year hence it is the most populous city in the Philippines. It shouldn’t be confused with Quezon Province, though both were named after the late President Manuel Quezon.

QC is tagged as “the city of new horizons” due to its low level of poverty and illiteracy and its rich culture and lifestyle. Many government offices are located in the city being the former capital. Media moguls ABS-CBN and GMA 7 along with most of the broadcasting networks are also based in QC.

Stating all of these, there are still lots of interesting stuff we can learn about Quezon City.
