Seal based on
http://www.navy.mil.ph/index2.html
The flag of the Philippine Navy has a navy blue field defaced with the seal
of the Philippine Navy: a navy blue roundel with an anchor in in purple,
superimposed over which is the traditional Philippine sea lion in Or; the
roundel surrounded by two stylized naval cables in Or, containing a white border
on which is written Hukbong Dagat Pilipinas (Naval Forces Philippines) with two
stars.

A blue flag with two white five-pointed stars one above the other at hoist
and a white naval emblem in fly. I say "a naval emblem" since I don't think that
the one there is the naval emblem currently. Possibly the white emblem is
some older one. It consists of concentric white disks with two sea lions and two
anchors.

On www.navy.mil.ph it was reported
recently that there is an entirely different flag for this function: a blue flag
with three white five-pointed flags, one and two in fly and golden circular
emblem in canton. The image there is too small to recognize what the emblem is,
but presumably it is the naval emblem (which is not entirely golden, but
has golden elements). From the same site there are images of the emblem,
the golden sea-lion on a slanted silver anchor within a white ring inscribed
HUKBONG DAGAT PILIPINAS.

Rectangular swallow-tailed pennant, blue over red, with white field at hoist
containing three yellow five-pointed stars. As the jack is from 1955, this may
well be the same for the masthead pennant.
