   Usage as war ensign
   The Philippines does not utilize a separate war flag;
    instead, the national flag itself is used for this
    purpose. To indicate a state of war, the red field is
    flown upwards and is placed on the right (on the
    observer's left) if it is in a hanging position. In times of
    peace, however, the blue area is the superior field. The
    orientation of the flag was used during the Philippine–
    American War from 1899 to 1901,World War II by
    the Philippine Commonwealth from 1941 to 1945 and
    by the Japanese-sponsored Philippine Republic when it

    President Corazon Aquino's administration, and EDSA
