Translated from municipal web site:
"The first colour of our flag is white, meaning the peace of our small territory.
The second colour is yellow, representing the material resources of the municipality.
The third colour is green, meaning the hop in our people.
Each stripe is charged with a rhomb representing each of the three "corregimientos" incorporated into the municipality."  
The map of the municipality shows Chibolo as the capital and La Estrella, La China and Pueblo Nuevo as the three "corregimientos".
