Description and symbolism:

The tower with a flag represents strength and fortitude. This emblem pays homage to the province of Cordoba in Argentina, symbolizing the family’s resilient roots. Above, the clouds signify patience, while the radiant sun embodies glory, mirroring the symbolism of the Argentine flag and the family’s paternal heritage.

The tree, an allusion to the narra native to the Philippines, symbolizes stability and the capacity to weather challenges. It also recalls the Biblical account of the bush, burning but not consumed by flames, where God spoke to Moses and instructed him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt: a powerful symbol of divine communication and guidance.

Blazon: Shield: Argent, issuant from base a tree proper, on a chief Azure a sun in splendour Or between clouds Argent issuant from dexter and sinister chief.

Crest: A tower Or port and windows Gules flying a banner Azure.

Motto: Nihil timendum est (“Nothing to be feared”).
