Like the flags of most Philippine provinces, flags of cities and municipalities usually just bear the seal of the municipality or city on a single or multi colored field, but there are some municipal or city flags that differ from the standard. All municipalities in the province of [[Camarines Norte]] and [[Aklan]] bear flags that differ from the standard.
