What actually differs
- the Philippines adds gold, which Czechia does not have.
- the Philippines carries sun and three stars; Czechia has nothing in the middle.
- Czechia flies at 2:3 and the Philippines at 1:2, so side by side one looks longer than the other.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#D7141A against #CE1126) and blue (#11457E against #0038A8).
How to keep them straight
Czechia: White over red with a blue triangle biting in to the centre.
Philippines: White triangle at the hoist with a sun and three stars, blue over red.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Czechia it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
