Description and symbolism:

The colors allude to the Philippine flag, and symbolize love (red) and determination (blue) to the Armiger, the latter being his favorite color.

The column signifies the Armiger’s passion for architecture. The two eagles supporting the column represent both the strength and faith that sustain the Armiger’s professional studies. The two pine cones are canting to the family name. They are twice depicted in honor of his parents. The sun at center binds all of the elements to signify that glory can be found in striving for family and passion.

The motto reflects the Armiger’s belief that difficulties in life are not without purpose and can bring out a better version of ourselves.
