At www.cuencadeljubones.gov.ec
there is a horizontal (2:1:2) red-yellow-green flag. However, www.mipasaje.com,
the provincial website report a green over yellow flag, which is
also equivalent to the pennant of the Coat of Arms. On the other
hand, the red-yellow-green flag appears on the shield itself .

The canton of El Guabo was formed on 7 September 1878. The
place was named after a giant gujava tree ("guaba")
used to mark a small port on river Jubones used for local trade.

Translated from www.mipasaje.com:
"Author: Jorge Vega Izquierdo. The flag is made of two equal
horizontal stripes, yellow and green. Yellow represents ripe
fruit: bananas, cocoa pods, oranges, etc. Green represents the
very fertile fields, where the inhabitants have their best hope.
Green also means firmness, safety, roots."
The other reported flag appears in the fourth canton of the coat
of arms, whose description includes:
"The lower left canton is completely filled with the colours
of the flag of the canton, red, yellow and green, with a Maltese
Cross overall [...]"
