Rectangular shaped pin with a black outline depicting a vehicle license plate with the similar basic colors of the philippines national flag. "HRD RCK" is written in black across the middle of the pin. "Makati" is mentioned as HRC location in the upper part of the pin. Makati is the financial district of the philippines. "Philippines" is written in the lower part of the pin in front of Manila´s skyline.
The national flag, designed by Emilio Aguinaldo, a philippino general and national hero (1898-1964), consists of two horizontal stripes of equal width in blue and red, covered by a white equilateral triangle on the leech. The centre of the triangle is occupied by a golden sun surrounded by eight main rays. Each of the rays consists of three individual rays. At each corner of the triangle there is also a five-pointed golden star. Each star is arranged in such a way that one of the points points points exactly to the tip of the corner where it is located.
According to official sources, the white triangle stands for equality, the blue field for peace, truth and justice and the red field for patriotism and heroism. The eight rays of the sun represent freedom and the eight provinces where the Philippine Revolution broke out in 1896 against the Spanish colonial power (Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac), and for which martial law was declared at that time. The three stars symbolize the main geographical areas of Luzon, Mindanao and the Visayas archipelago.
