Flags of Bohol and the Philippines near the Chocolate Hills. The color of the star used in the flags is plain yellow, instead of the yellow-fimbriated blue star as dictated by law. The shade of blue used in this version is the same as that of the current shade of blue (royal blue) in the Philippine flag, which was only made official in 1998. However, when the specifications for the Bohol flag were described in 1969 the shade of blue of the Philippine flag was navy blue; most official versions of the Bohol flag use navy blue.

The Flag of Bohol is the provincial flag of Bohol, Philippines. It is a vertical triband bearing the three main colors of the Philippine flag.[1] According to the official interpretation of the flag's symbolism, the color blue represents nobility; white, purity; and red, courage.[2] The design is similar to the flags of France and the Novgorod Oblast in Russia.

Bohol is one of the few Philippine provinces to have a distinctly-designed flag, deviating from the standard flag design of the provincial seal on a colored field. The flag has a proportion of 1:2, the same as the flag of the Philippines.[1]
