Summary

Description
English: Official Flag of the Province of Samar, Republic of the Philippines

The basic design of the flag of the Province of (Western) Samar is the provincial seal centered on a field of white fimbriated with a band of golden yellow.

Only one variant is known: it has an aspect ratio of approximately 3:5, with the provincial seal being slightly more than 1/2 of the flag width. The band of golden yellow which forms the flag border measures approximately 1/18th of the flag width.

---

Differences compared to the 1975 Symbols of the State flag rendering:

= main flag color and presence of flag border/fimbriation = flag proportion

= provincial seal details:

- colour of encircling text is green instead of black;

- colour of elements more “natural;”

- the top portion of the shield being predominantly green, instead of being a golden hatched area resembling the pattern of a woven palm/grass mat (“banig”), a traditional product associated with Samar;

- the date “1 1968 1” {1 January 1968 is the official date of inauguration of the three partitioned provinces of the old Samar province} being enclosed within a horizontal warrior shield-like shape outlined in black, instead of lying on a golden banig-patterned field
