the Philippine
Flag”
by Fernando
Amorsolo
Fernando Amorsolo
◦ Born on May 30, 1892 in Calle Herran
in Paco, Manila to Pedro Amorsolo and
Bonifacia Cueto.

of Daet in Camarines Norte where his
love for the simple rural life would
become the foundation for his artistic
output for which he is most well-
known.
◦ The painting shows three women, namely Marcella
Marino de Agoncillo (on the right side) referred as the
Mother of the Philippine flag, with the help of her
daughter Lorenza and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad,
the niece of Dr. Jose Rizal. They were tasked by Gen.
Emilio Aguinaldo to sew the first flag for the new
republic.
◦ It is believed that Fernando Amorsolo made this
painting to show the citizen of the Philippines of how
the Philippine flag was made and to remind them the
traditions and customs that are fading. This painting is
made for us to take care and give importance to the
National Flag, love our country, and be proud of it
because our ancestors risked their lives for the “The Making of the Philippine Flag”
freedom from the hands of the colonizers. by Fernando Amorsolo
