Mariano Llanera's Skull Flag(1896). A somber-looking black flag, with the single white letter K and the skull and crossbones emblem. The black color of the flag was inspired by the hood worn during the secret initiation rites of the first degree Katipuneros. The flag was for the camp of General Mariano Llanera of Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, who earned for himself a reputation as a brave and reckless fighter. "Let us fight to the finish," was one of his favorite remarks. This flag looked like the pirates' banner in the Caribbean. It is said that Andres Bonifacio made fun of this flag, calling it "Llanera's skull."
And then wipcaps made Llanera's Skull cap a tribute to our founding fathers the Katipunan, who spilled blood, sweat and tears for our Independence.
Special homage to General Mariano Llanera who used the Black flag with the 'K' and Skull and Bones insignia. The year 1896 in the back of the cap signifies the start of the Philippine Revolution.
This is just a flashback of what our heroes have done in the past. They deserved to be remembered.
