THE COAT OF ARMS OF ESCUDOS ECCLESIASTICOS PH
Blason:
Per pale, Azure and Gules. Over all, in between three five-point mullets (in 2 and 1), a sealion sounding a conch shell, with a latin cross in sinister paws, all Or.
The shield is surmounted by a salakot Or.
Description:
The sea lion originated from the coat of arms of Manila, which was later associated with other institutions in the Philippines. And so, it has become an iconic symbol pertaining to Filipino identity.
The cross represents the Christian faith.
The conch shell was the typical type of horn used by ancient heralds or criers of the various precolonial principalities in the Philippine Archipelago (especially in the Visayan Islands and Mindanao) to call the attention of people in their domains for important announcements, or to signal important activities. It is known as "Budyong". In the Visayas, ancient heralds were called "Manugbantala". Its counterpart in the Tagalog Region is the "Umalohokan".
