Description of the flag

On a page about the regional symbols of Huánuco it is said under mayoress Luisa María Cuculiza (early 1990ies) a municipal flag was adopted: diagonally (top hoist to bottom fly) divided “cream” (whitish yellow) over green, standing for the typical local soil, and for the local woods and forests. (Luisa María Cuculiza is a well known Peruvian lady politician. Apart from mayoress, she was beauty queen, athlete, nurse, dentist, minister and vice-presidential candidate. And vexillograph, apparently.)

On a page about the regional symbols of Huánuco it is said (my translation):

The first local flag was red and fuchsia (vertical bicolor) and used in the Arco Punko battle in 1812 Mar 15-18. These colors stood for the two peoples who fought against the Spanish rule, the Chupachos and the Panatahuas. This flag fell in disuse and oblivion.
