Answer 1

1-The Frenchman Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla designed the first serious proposal for a Panamanian flag.

2-Varilla's design is based on the Flag of the United States, possibly on account of that country's hand in Panamanian independence. Retaining the thirteen stripes, he changed the white stripes to yellow, emphasizing the Panamanian connection to Colombia and Spain (whose flags both prominently feature red and yellow). Varilla replaced the stars in the blue canton with two interconnected yellow suns; the suns represent North and South America, and are connected because of Panama's position connecting the two continents.

3- Varilla's proposal was rejected by the Panamanian revolutionary council on the grounds that it was designed by a foreigner.

4- The current Panamanian flag was made by Maria Ossa de Amador on November 1, 1903.

9- The blue was intended to represent the Conservative Party and the red to represent the Liberal Party.
