The coat of arms for the Philippines consists of a central eight-rayed sun with each of the rays standing for each of the eight provinces which are Cavite, Batanges, Laguna, Tarlac, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Manila and Pampanga. During the Philippine revolution these provinces were put under martial law by Governor-General Ramón Blanco. The top has three five pointed stars that represent the primary regions geographically which are Mindanao, Luzon and Visayas. Finally the bottom of the coat of arms consists of a red field with the lion rampant on the right and a blue field with the American Bald Eagle, both of which are to show the colonial past of the country.
