This is confusing. There are two different versions of the flag depending of the country's state. During war, the red band is on top, during peace the blue band is on top

I think you could assume that the Philippines is at peace and not in eternal war. It's a very fun fact, one I also considered when making the quiz. A very fun fact, but common sense should go over a little fun vexillology fact.
