Flags Of The Philippine Revolution
During the Philippine Revolution, various flags were used by the Katipunan secret society and its various factions, and later, after the Katipunan had been dissolved, the Philippine Army and its civil government.
Other flags were the personal battle standards of different military zone commanders operating around Manila.
The flags shown in this article are the official flags recognized during the Philippine Centennial celebration in 1998. These flags are often erroneously included in the "Evolution of the Philippine Flag"; these are properly called "Flags of the Revolution". While many of the depicted symbols and layouts on some of the flags have inspired the national flag, there is no direct relationship.
