A brief background of the flag of the Philippines:
White triangle with equal sides of the flag is symbolic of equality among men.
Sun represents the steps that have been made by the sons of the land on the road to progress and civilization.
Eight rays of the sun in the triangle represent the first eight united provinces that revolted independence: (Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac)
Three stars in the triangle stand for the geographical divisions of the country – Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Red symbolizes the willingness of the Filipino people to shed blood in defense of their country.
Blue stands for common unity and the noble aspirations of the Filipino people.
White stands for purity
Using the color combination of the flag and the symbols – I can see more sportswear being created, jackets, hats and graphics tees. I can also see the sun alone used in various aspect of the fashion world: a print on a tee, a pin, and hat. The sun can even be overlapped to create some sort of geometric print for a skirt, dress or tee.

. I came across this graphic tee that I’m eyeing. although the traditional colors aren’t used and the sun is modified with a design in the middle, the Phillippine flag is identifiable.
