Anapoima is in Tequendama Province, Cundinamarca.
Felipe Carrillo, 12 April 2002
Here is the decree about the flag of Anapoima in Spanish:
"Acuerdo 012 de Abril 24 del 2000
Por medio del cual se adoptan los Símbolos Municipales de
Anapoima - Escudo y Bandera
Artículo Tercero: Adóptense los colores municipales de Anapoima
(Cundinamarca), amarillo oro y verde esmeralda, distribuidos en
el pabellón municipal en dos franjas horizontales iguales; la
franja superior en color amarillo oro, la franja inferior en
color verde esmeralda, con el escudo insertado en la parte
central de la bandera."
This document is not defining length and scale. Here we
have the original flag (without Coat of Arms) and the
flag descripted in the document (Flag with Coat
of Arms).
Jairo Alonso Méndez Méndez, 20 March 2004
From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Compuesta por dos franjas: amarilla y verde. Sus colores
significan lo siguiente:
Amarillo: la riqueza del suelo de su regi?n y el brillo del sol
de la "Eterna Juventud",
Eslogan que acu?aron para el municipio.
Verde esmeralda: la fertilidad y esplendor de las tierras, la
esperanza de un pueblo pujante y floreciente. "
Felipe Carrillo, 20 November 2004
Before 2000, (the date when the flag and the coat of arms of
Anapoima were officialized), the flag of Anapoima was the same as
the current one, but they didn't have a Coat of Arms so they used
a logotype with the inscription: "Anapoima
Cundinamarca".
Jairo Alonso Méndez Méndez, 15 March 2005
In 1968, Professor Francisco Álvaro Garzón Vásquez
(deceased in 2008), hoists a flag, composed by two colors, yellow
and green, in a horizontal bi-stripe design. The flag was seen in
sport events in Tequendama Province.
This flag is the origin of the flag of Anapoima.

This is the flag of Anapoima (Cundinamarca) - my native city -
with a variation that includes in the center the coat of arms,
this variation is the one that is hoisted at the Government
Building, and is useful to differentiate it from other similar
flags in Cundinamarca, like those of Chia
and Tocancipá, other flags that uses
the "yellow and green" with the same reviewed design.
