The Manila Yacht Club was founded in 1927. Its burgee seems to be blue with a
white triangle in the middle, stretching over the whole length of the flag, and
charged with three blue stars. The source is the
Philippine Sailing Federation
website: on which the burgee is shown "waving", hence "seems" in my description
of it.

Subic Bay is located near the city of Olangapo, on the west coast of Luzon
island (Philippines). The area is a Special Economic Zone (I believe that the
former US Naval Base has been definitively suppressed). The burgee of Subic Bay
Yacht Club is divided by a white cross. First and third quarters are green,
second and fourth ones are black. The source is the
Philippine Sailing Federation
website.

Taal Lake is a volcanic lake located c. 50 km south of Manila, near Talisay,
in Batangas province. According to Lonely
Planet, this lake is the sailing Mecca of the Philippines. The burgee of the
yacht club is white with a blue border around the flag and an other blue border
inside it. The field is charged with two red sails. The source is the
Philippine Sailing Federation
website.
