Cantons:
Manabi is a province in central coastal area of Ecuador in
Costa region. Capital is Portoviejo.
Zeljko Heimer, 15 July 1996
According to <members.es.tripod.de/manabidatos.html>,
there are 21 stars forming an arc and not 8
forming a circle. As those 21 stars represent the number of
"cantones", maybe we can guess that the number of them
have increased to reach now 21 but it's only a guess.

This is the description of the flag from that site:
"The Flag has the proportion of two by one, divided in five
equal bars or stripes, being three of them, superior, inferior
and central, green color, and the remaining two white. In
addition, it will consist of a red triangle, whose base will be
the spear of the emblem and its height the one that is obtained
to an angle of 60 degrees. The vertex of the triangle will agree
exactly with half the wide of the Flag. Outside the triangle, in
semicircle, there will be 21 red stars, that symbolize the 21
Manabites cantons and their provincial unit, the same ones that
will be incorporated as new cantons are created. The
distinguishing colors of the Province of Manabi will be green,
white and red, that symbolize: The green one, the Manabite earth
fertility; the red one, the generous blood spilled in the
libertarian and reformists deeds of General Eloy Alfaro; and the
white one, the peace and work that yearns our town for its
progress and exaltment."
