INTRODUCTION. According to Claro M. Recto, Nationalism is nourished by a sense of history. It is of its
essence to know profoundly the past, so that we may be in complete openness with the men who made
that history and in intimate communion with their thoughts, their deeds, and their noble lives.

Nationalism is the secular identification and engagement of our people with the Filipino nation and
domestic community, the Philippines as our country and homeland. It goes beyond our family, clan,
tribe, village, city, province, religion, and local culture

Filipino national identity based in part of indigenous values

a. Pagsasarili (self-reliance)
b. Pakikisama (equitable sharing and partnership)
c. Pakikibayani (patriotism)
d. Pagkakaisa (national unity, national consensus and discipline)
e. Pakikitungo (consideration)
f. Pakikipagkapwa-Tao (human solidarity based first of all on developing our nation)
g. Pagkakapantay-pantay (equality and equity)

Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with
something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has its own national symbols to identify
themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism.

According to National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), official national symbols of the
Philippines represent the country’s traditions and ideals and convey the principles of Philippine
sovereignty and national solidarity.

Check out these national symbols of the Philippines:

1. National Flag - The Philippines national flags made of silk, had a white equilateral triangle at the left
containing a sunburst of eight rays at the center, a five-pointed star at each angle of the triangle, an
upper stripe of blue and a lower stripe of red.
The sun stands for liberty;
The sunburst of eight rays for the first eight provinces to take up arms against Spain; and
The three stars for the three island groups of the Philippines – Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The white triangle signifies Filipino hope for equality;
The upper blue stripe stands for peace, truth, and justice;
while the lower red stripe stands for patriotism and valor.

2. Lupang Hinirang (Chosen Land) - The Philippine National Anthem

3. Sampaguita (Jasmine Sambac) - The Philippine national flower; Its white color symbolizes purity,
simplicity, humility, and strength.
