represents the distinctive
emblem of the famous
Katipunan Society, which
by means of its compact
of blood urged on the
masses of the people to
insurrection.

The three stars represent
the three principal Islands
of this Archipelago,
Luzon, Mindanao and
Panay, in which the
insurrectionary movement
broke out.

33
The sun represents the gigantic
strides that have been made by the
sons of this land on the road of
progress and civilization, its eight
rays symbolizing the eight
provinces of Manila, Cavite,
Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija,
Bataan, Laguna and Batangas,
which were declared in a state of
war almost as soon as the first
insurrectionary movement was
initiated.
34
The colors blue, red and white

our profound gratitude towards
that Great Nation for the
disinterested protection she is
extending to us and will
