The ensign of the Royal Philipphines Company was basically the 1785 war ensign bearing the arms of Manila city – as shown for example at the International Civic Arms website but with an oval escutcheon, royally crowned – on the red stripe beneath the national arms on the ensign and on the yellow stripe immediately after the national arms on the pennant. Here is a scan from Pavillons des puissances maritimes 1819 [pav19] as shown in Znamierowski 1999 [zna99].

Even if a Royal Philipphines Company pennant – the 1785 war pennant bearing the Manila arms – was shown in the first (1819) edition of the Album des Pavillons [pav19], its real existence is dubious. Spanish vexillologist Luis Miguel Arias suggests that the only pennant used in Spain was the commissioning pennant used by warships.
