Regional flags

Among the country's 17 regions, only the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has its own officially legislated regional flag. In the past, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao also had its own officially legislated regional flag. The purported flag of the Cordillera Administrative Region — which has no elected regional government that could legally specify the details of the reported emblem — has not been attested.
FlagDateUseDescription
1992–2019Regional flag of the Autonomous Region in Muslim MindanaoA horizontal tricolor of equal blue, white and red stripes. Top stripe bears one yellow five-pointed star; the middle stripe, a green circle filled with yellow elements — a tilted crescent moon nearly enclosing four smaller five-pointed stars; the bottom stripe, a silver kris. The number of smaller stars, meant to represent the number of the region's constituent provinces, has de facto varied from four, to five, to six to five again, but because the flag specifications contained within the 1992 law were not amended the original flag remained the only de jure official design.

Municipal and city flags

Like the flags of most Philippine provinces, flags of cities and municipalities usually just bear the seal of the municipality or city on a single or multi colored field, but there are some municipal or city flags that differ from the standard. All municipalities in the province of Camarines Norte and Aklan bear flags that differ from the standard.
