Province dads eye new Capitol seal

CEBU, Philippines - The Cebu Provincial government may have a new logo one day. This after the Provincial Board on Monday approved a resolution allowing the Capitol to change its current official seal.

According to the newly-approved resolution sponsored by PB member Thadeo Ouano, there is a need to update Cebu's official seal as the current one no longer depicts the true face of the province.

"The present seal of the province actually illustrates/focuses more on the Spanish colonialism that reflects the history and culture of the Filipinos," read the resolution.

"Due to the present situations and the demand of time, it manifests a need to amend, improve or update the official seal of the provincial government that would exactly depicts/symbolizes the real history and culture of Cebu and the Cebuanos," it further read.

It was also agreed that the Capitol could hold a logo-making contest to be participated in by local artists.

Ouano said that the new logo will be used as official identification of the province's official communications, documents and transactions. (FREEMAN)
