(NB. The flags of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, all Spanish colonies that struggled for independence in this era, all share similar designs.) This very early Philippine Republic flag still has human facial features on the sun like Aguinaldo's. It was captured by U.S. troops shortly after the commencement of the US - Philippine War in 1899. University of California - Santa Cruz Board of Councilors Meeting, Rare Flags Exhibit Santa Cruz, CA 7 June 2012 Santa Cruz, CA, June 7, 2012: The Zaricor Flag Collection exhibited 34 flags and artifacts at the University of California Santa Cruz Campus for the Board of Councilors Meeting. Philippine Battle Flag Philippine Insurrection, 1899 Date: 1899 Media: Hand sewn cotton, cotton lace, paper backed cotton stars. Comment: This homemade, blood-stained Philippine flag was captured in the City of Pasig, located near Manila in the Philippines. During the Philippine Insurrection, Pasig was a region of intense Philippine nationalism and saw heavy fighting between U.S. Army and Philippine forces, called Insurrectos. This flag was taken by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Duboce, a prominent San Francisco leader, who personally led the 1st California Infantry Volunteers in a successful foray against a strongly fortified church in the Battle of Pasig, 15 March 1899. The flag has emblems on one side only, and it was probably displayed flat on a wall in that church, which is thought to have been the Insurrectos headquarters. The flag central emblem, a sun with human facial features, was similar in design to the flag that Philippine independence leader Emilio Aguinaldo brought with him from Hong Kong in 1898. The lace along the bottom fly edge of the flag was an attempt to mimic the appearance of fringe, a common adornment on military flags. This flag's original red and blue horizontal stripes have now faded to orange and gray from long term display at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA after Colonel Duboce's widow donated the flag in 1900, after his death of tropical disease contracted during the campaigns of 1899. Provenance: Acquired by the Zaricor Flag Collection (ZFC0206) in 1997 from the de Young Museum Collection through Butterfield & Butterfield Auctions of San Francisco, CA. www.FlagCollection.com
