MANILLA
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 30, 1596.
The sea lion, en garde, stands for the authority of the City Government as being protective and defensive of Manila's people and territory.
The waves symbolise the Pasig River, a most important landmark whose length and path throughout the city chronicle the beginnings and the progress of Manila's commerce and industry.
The castle symbolizes the Spanish walled town of Intramuros, the Spanish quarter of the old city.
