EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 23, DATED MARCH 25, 1936, ENTITLED “DESCRIPTION AND
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE FILIPINO FLAG”
WHEREAS, Section one, Article XV of the
1973 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines prescribes the
colors of the national flag of the Philippines as red, white and blue,
with a sun and three stars, but silent as to the shade of the color
blue;
WHEREAS, in the original flag designed by General Emilio Aguinaldo that
was unfurled during the declaration of Philippine Independence in
Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898, the shade of the color blue was lighter
than the present dark blue being used in the making of Philippine flag;
WHEREAS, there is a need to correct historical inaccuracy as regards
the true shade of the colors of the Philippine flag as evidenced by the
historical findings made by the National Historical Institute, the
government agency which absorbed the functions of the defunct
Philippine Heraldry Committee;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby promulgate and
order the National Historical Institute to take the necessary steps to
restore the original color of the First Philippine Flag;
The NHI shall issue guidelines concerning the implementation of this
Executive Order;
This Executive Order supersedes Executive Order No. 23, dated March 25,
1936.
Done in the City of Manila,
