The flag with the mythological sun started in 1898 until 1936 when President M. Quezon's law removed the mythological sun from the flag replacing it with a sun without eyes , nouse and mouth . i think we can say this flag was an "emergency flag " made by the guerrilleros of sulu and Mindanao , allied with filipinos and americans ,who fought the japanese army; the crescent and the chain were added later on a filipino "traditional" flag ; the four stars represented Sulu, Mindanao, Basilan and Palawan ; on the "modern" (1899 circa ) flag of the Sulu Sultanate we can find out five stars: Sulu, Palawan, Basilan ; Kalimantan and Sabah.... . as i told you before this flag was made in emergency so it didn't follow any kind of particular rule about colors and symbols .
For muslims to represent human images or other symbols is forbidden but we have many flags from Sulu and Mindanao that don't follow this rule...... .

Ii have got many images of the filipino flag with the mythological sun ; if you (and all the friends of the forum ) like i will post them. You are right, it would be very nice to reincorporate the mythological sun on the national flag of the Philippines.
Mabuhay !

It would be very nice to reincorporate the mythological sun face into the Philippine flag. But are there any photographs or illustrations or live examples of the Filipino tricolors with the smiling mythological sun face?

Hi friends, i 'm partially agree with Claire, the flag of Aguinaldo is an original flag but not the first flag; of course the flag located in Baguio is original and made in silk and its replica in cotton but one important evidence is that Aguinaldo, Agoncillo etc. never mentioned the central "seal" with the inscription :"Fuerzas Expedicionarias del Norte de Luzon”who runs across one side of the flag, and the words “Libertad” and “Justicia” on the other side. A so very important detail can't be forgotten .......
Mabuhay

P.S. Claire , do you have images of all the filipino and spanish flags in Aguinaldo Museum of Baguio ? I'm interested on them..

Hi friends, the flag now have the yellow stripe but the original color was, without any doubt red, the yellow color is the consequence of many factors like atmosphere events etc. The frills are merely a decoration, we have many kind of revolutionary flags with some "additions " like the sun made in copper or iron etc. without any reference with the Christmas time. Almost all the revolutionary flags of that period were displayed like a gonfalon, this apparently strange manner to display flags was also common in many Countries and Regions of Europe , America and Asia. The way the mythological sun is placed on the flag suggest us that the flag was displayed like a gonfalon rather than a "common" flag.... .

I think it would be better to call the sun "Mythological sun", not "illuminati ". we can also find out this kind of sun in some old cuban flags, adopted before the present flag of Cuba.
