    History seal
    1950-1994 seal
    Upon the creation of Occidental Mindoro in 1950, a seal was adopted for
    the province. The 1950 seal resembles that of its neighboring province of
    Oriental Mindoro. The history of the seal is dubious regarding the
    designing and adoption of the seal but according to old officials of the
    province the following elements symbolizes:[1]

    Roundels: the five roundels or disks symbolizes the five original


    provinces of Occidental Mindoro; Mamburao, Lubang, Abra de Ilog,
    Sablayan, and San Jose. The roundels are placed on a red chevron of the
    shield. The north-facing element, symbolizes the "enthusiastic approach"
    of the inhabitants of the province to continued progress and development.
    Tamaraws: the three tamaraw heads in the seal represents the three main
    ethnic groups of the province at that time. The tamaraws together with
    the shield symbolizes the animals being protected by the people of the
    province.
    Shield: the shield is yellow-gold in color to represents the etymology of
    the province name which means Mina de Oro or Mine of Gold.
    The words "Province of Occidental Mindoro" is inscribed in a green
    background which symbolizes the forests of the province.
    Present seal
    The present seal was adopted through the initiatives of Governor
    Josephine Ramirez-Sato started in early 1992. The provincial government
    organized a seal design competition in an effort to find a new design to
    replace the 1950 seal. Five final designs were chosen from the entries
    submitted on November 15, 1992 and was three designs were chosen from the
    five. Augusto Viray Jr. was announced first-place winner of the
    competition and his design was chosen as the primary basis of the current
    seal.[2]

    At the beginning of 1993, Governor Sato organized a committee to finalize


    the design of the new seal base on the designs of the finalists of the
    1992 competition through Executive Order No. 93-02. The final seal design
    was submitted to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for approval. During the
    regular session of the provincial council held on June 21, 1993,
    Resolution No. 106, Ss. 93 was passed and approved by the Board adopting
    the new and modified official seal of the province.[2]

    The draft seal along with relevant documents were submitted to the
    Department of the Interior and Local Government on July 20, 1993, where
    it was studied for two months. The draft seal was then forwarded to the
    department's Bureau of Local Government Services and on October 13, 1993,
    it was submitted to the National Historical Commission. On November 4,
    1993 the draft was returned to the Office of the Governor of Occidental
    Mindoro for final comment and possible revision. No revisions were made
    and the draft design was submitted to the National Historical Institute.
    In a telegram sent by the National Historical Institute dated February
    11, 1994, Governor Sato was informed that the design for the new seal
    design was approved.[2]
    On March 2, 1994, the seal was publicly presented by Governor Sato at the
    Provincial Developmental Council meeting held on March 2, 1994.[2] By
    March 21, 1994, the seal was officially adopted for use of the provincial
    government.[3]
