I discovered some new infos... : The flag with 4 5 pointed star in silver (white ) was the first version of the flag, the following version changed the color of the stars from silver to gold (yellow ), the flag without stars was the Army flag... I will post more details as soon as possible.
Mabuhay !

I found out another source (http://www.mariofabretto.it/32V3X/ ) with a Commonwealth flag with four stars in silver color , maybe it was a variant adopted after 1939... .

Was this flag another version or variant of the Commonwealth flag shown on the "flaggenbuch " of 1939 ? That source was a very important source : The "Flaggenbuch" was Edited and published by the Higher Commandment of the Imperial Navy. (Bearbeitet und herausgegeben vom Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine). Let me know your opinion friends.... mabuhay Paolo

According to my sources the original Commonwealth flag was the following : The image also appeared on a famous german flag book of 1939 : "Flaggenbuch " ; on F.O.T.W. (http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ ) We can find out the following notes : "As in Flaggenbuch (1939). A blue flag with the coat of arms in the middle and four yellow five-pointed stars, one in each corner. The coat of arms at the time was a shield: per pale azure and gules, in the chief argent thee mullets of five or and overall an escutcheon oval per fess gules a tower issuant or and argent a sea-lion or holding a sword. Crest: on a torse gules and argent standing an eagle displayed proper. Motto: below on ribbon argent "COMMONWEALTH OF THE PHILIPPINES". Flag adopted from :1935 to 1946.

We are talking on flags and symbols so... here another interesting image of a filipino flag with five pointed stars , the mythological sun and, of course the triangle.... . The flag was captured by the americans ... According to Lt. Sidney Maiz, the flag flew outside the house of General Aguinaldo when he was captured in Palanan, Isabela.... . (Lt.Sidney Maiz of Texas served in the Philippines during the Spanish American War. Sidney Maiz moved up to Lt. Colonel and served in the US. Expeditionary Force in Europe during WW1. He saw action in the Battle of Verdun.).
