Established by the Coastwise Trade Act of 1902; adopted in 1903; currently
codified as Section 904, An Act to Revise and Codify the Tariff and Customs Laws
of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 1937 of June 22, 1957:
"Vessels
engaged in the Philippine coastwise trade shall fly at the mainmast the
Philippine coastwise emblem, consisting of a rectangular white flag with one
blue and one red stars ranged from staff to tip in the horizontal median line."
Philippine-registered vessels, licensed to engage in domestic trade, are
required to fly this flag, thereby exempt the vessels from customs and
quarantine requirements. A flag for similar purposes existed in the
Republic of Texas in 1839.
