Within the triangle, at its center, a mythological sun was depicted with eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth in black, bearing eight rays without any minor ray for each, and three five-pointed stars, one at each angle of the triangle. It had a white equilateral triangle at the hoist that is smaller than that in our flag today. The Hong Kong designed flag that Aguinaldo brought with him from his exile on board the US dispatch boat McCullock, and which became the official flag of the first Philippine Republic, consisted of two horizontal stripes, blue on top and red below.
But first let us describe the Filipino flag. A close scrutiny of the claims in favor of Freemasonry must, therefore, be undertaken. On the contrary, some of his official statements do not jibe with the exceedingly generous assertions of the freemasons. Moreover, Aguinaldo did not make a written affirmation of the masonic connection of the flag. The lavish claims, however, were made by freemasons and, therefore, the possibility of exaggeration or embellishment, owing to over enthusiasm, cannot be discounted. If all are to be accepted at face value, we cannot avoid the conclusion that our national emblem is a clone of the masonic banner and that all the devices and symbols used in it are of masonic origin, from the triangle, to the sun and stars, down to its colours. Some of the claims made in favor of the masonic link of the Philippine flag, however, are so lavish they strain the readers credulity. He also argued that some serious dissensions among Filipinos originated, "more than for anything else, from the mania of Aguinaldo, or rather of his adviser, Mabini, to elevate any person who was a mason" It should not come as a surprise to anyone, therefore, if Aguinaldo decided to extol masonry in the Philippine flag. In his Memoirs, Felipe Calderon, the President of the Malolos Congress, claimed that the "sectarian masonic spirit" undermined the insurrection. His nepotism was so pronounced, a critic of masonry denounced it as one of the "evils" of the Revolution. He made membership in the masonic fraternity an important qualification for appointments to government positions. And I venture to say that the first Philippine Republic of which I was its humble president, was an achievement we owe, largely, to masonry and the freemasons." Speaking of the revolutionists, he added "With God to illumine them, and masonry to inspire them, they fought the battle of emancipation and won." During the Revolution, Aguinaldo frequently displayed a marked bias in favor of freemasons and masonry. In one of his speeches delivered after the Revolution, Aguinaldo said "The successful Revolution of 1896 was masonically inspired, masonically led, and masonically executed. These assertions are essentially plausible, for the man principally responsible for its design President Emilio Aguinaldo was a zealous masonic partisan. Time and again it has been asserted that masonry played an important role in the design of the Philippine flag and that some of its symbols were meant to memorialize the Craft.
