 Philippines Provincial Flags
The seal is always circular, measuring 7/10ths of the flag's height, typically bearing a shield of varying shape with local heraldic bearings (the degree of heraldic correctness varying greatly but quite low in average) on a solid background surrounded by an outlined ring typically bearing the name of the entity.
Apayao and Kalinga resulted from the split of Kalinga-Apayao (which itself was formed when Mountain Province was split into four in 1966); one province takes place of the former mother province in the original list, and the other assumes the latest number in the list.
The notable thing is that the flag of Cagayan Province, which was adopted in 1970, does not appear in both the 1975 'Symbols of the State' book, and my TV sighting in 1998.
