Translated from municipal
web site:
"The first colour of our flag is white, meaning the peace of
our small territory.
The second colour is yellow, representing the material resources
of the municipality.
The third colour is green, meaning the hop in our people.
Each stripe is charged with a rhomb representing each of the
three "corregimientos" incorporated into the
municipality."
The map
of the municipality shows Chibolo as the capital and La
Estrella, La China and Pueblo Nuevo as the three
"corregimientos".
