The new municipal seal integrates different symbols that define the municipality of Cabugao, Ilocos Sur in its present state.
The shield in the middle represents our courage to defend our land of birth. The official form used by the province of Ilocos Sur, the municipality incorporates this form to signify our collaboration with the province’s thrusts and objectives.
Inside this shield are different manifestations: (From top left clockwise) The coastline represents the tourism industry exemplified by Pug-os Beach with its white sand and gradually-sloping seabed. The post in the middle represents the Dardarat Lighthouse which serves as a beacon that guides marine vessels while cruising a portion of the South China Sea within our municipal waters and nearby waters. The roof beams represent the Northern Ilocos Sur Trade Center, the town’s public market that has become a beehive of trade and commerce in Northern Ilocos.
Below it are three posts representing the historic Salomague Port, a harbor used by ancient Chinese and Japanese traders and the port of departure of the last wave of Filipino sugarcane plantation workers known as Hawayanos or Sakadas who migrated to Hawaii.
These manifestations are separated by a white rectangular figure with dotted lines which symbolizes our road networks connecting all our constituents and providing them ease in moving to and fro. Rice, corn and tobacco which are the main crops of the municipality are testament to our industrious farmers. Each of the three (3) palay stalks has eleven (11) grains and the total of thirty-three (33) grains represents the 33 barangays of the municipality. The three (3) corn cobs represent the bounties of agricultural products. The tobacco is a constant reminder to the role Republic Act 7171 (Excise Tax on Tobacco Law) plays in the socio-economic development of the town.
‘1722’ stands for the year when the pre-Spanish barangay of Cabugao and adjoining barangays were constituted into a Spanish-designed pueblo. The book Ilocos Sur: An Illustrated History published by the Provincial Government of Ilocos Sur.
The three (3) fishes attest to the food productivity of the sea and the resourcefulness of our fisherfolks.
The seal is dominated by the colors red, yellow and blue – the colors of our national flag while the three stars envelop our founding year.
