Here another "new" discovered flag provided by a friend owner and collector of flags and swords, the triangle has no stars and sun on it... It was in the collection of Leonard Wood, who was in the Philippines as an army Colonel in 1899 during the Spanish-American War and later as Governor General. In the notes to the collection, it was identified as a Philippine Regimental Flag.

I think it's just a question of shape they can't placed the star in a different place because the sun was too big so they placed it on the center... I think when we wanna Draw a star the more easy and intuitive way to do it is to draw two triangles but you're right too in saying that triangle was a "familiar" symbols added on many items...letters, swords etc...

It's a great enigma, i 'm trying to discover the true meaning of it since 2001 ...!!!!! Someone says it's a shield with a decoration on it, someone says it's a seal with the the stylized gravestone of the first Sultan of Sulu.... Until now no one give us a true and sure evidence and explanation about this symbol .

Another interesting flag of the Sulu Sultanate, the style of this flag clearly remind us to the U.S.A. flag; in fact , before 1899 all the flags from Sulu Sultanate were quite different...

On my opinion just by old age over the years... Kev, can you post the images of your sword with the six-pointed star ? This flag is in a great private collection in U.S.A. i waited more than one year to obtain the image from the owner of it .... :=)

This Philippine Flag was taken in Pasig by Col. Victor DuBoce in Feb. 1899, and presented to the de Young Museum by his widow in December 1900. One of the three six-pointed stars is discolored and now has a white color. At present the flag is in the "Flag Center Zaricor Flag Collection ". * Courtesy of Mr. Ben Zaricor and James ferrigan (image and notes from my web site : www.watawat.net )

Also here in Italy filipinos will send money , food and help to the people victim of Ondoy; as i 've written on my f.b. wall : "Ondoy"can take the lives of men but cannot erase the souls of them and the hope for a better future.

Ding was the plillar of BNK (with Selwyn and Perry ) , he was a great modern Katipunero , he fought for the knowledge of the filipino history and culture and he was a great sample of tolerance among people and persons.
Farewell Ding !!!

Nice pieces friends, anyway, i told a question to myself : In these cases we are relic hunters and collectors but would be better if we give respect these places as cemeteries of heroes ... Am I right ?
