Translated from municipal
web site:
"Designer: Ramiro Jurado.
The flag used as its institutional symbol by the municipal
administration of Taminango is made of three coloured fields
arranged as follows:
- Green (upper triangle) symbolizes faith, elation, hope in the
future and aspiration to progress of the villagers;
- Yellow (Ascending diagonal stripe) symbolizes the resources of
the region and the human warmth characteristic of the villagers;
- Red (lower triangle) symbolizes strength, value, courage,
dignity and wisdom characteristic of the villagers' personality.
Quiriquinga, the Incas' sacred bird, represented after a
Pre-Colombian painting, is placed in canton, symbolizing the
greatness of the villagers."
Quiriquinga is sometimes written Qoriquenke.
