Explanation: Panama celebrates Flag Day on November 4, started after 1903, when the red-blue-white flag, set on December 20, 1925, by María Ossa de Amador, flies high. It marks separation from Colombia, with red and blue for parties, white for peace, stars for provinces. Before, it used Colombia’s colors. In Panama City, flag-raising, salsa dances, and parades celebrate it with the president’s words (now Laurentino Cortizo, if unchanged). It’s a public holiday after November 3 for unity.
