FEATURING
front: Coat of arms of the Philippines

The Coat of Arms of the Philippines (Filipino: Eskudo ng Pilipinas or Sagisag ng Pilipinas) features the eight-rayed sun of the Philippines with each ray representing the eight provinces (Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Manila, Laguna, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac) which were placed under martial law by Governor-General Ramón Blanco during the Philippine Revolution, and the three five-pointed stars representing the three primary geographic regions of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

On the blue field on the left side is the American bald eagle of the United States, and on the red field on the right side is the lion rampant of the coat of arms of the Kingdom of León, both representing the country's colonial past. The current arms, which shares many features of the national flag, was designed by Filipino artist and heraldist Captain Galo B. Ocampo.
