Coat of arms of Manila : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coat of arms of Manila
The Coat of Arms of Manila is composed of the city's modern coat-of-arms, with colors mirroring those of the National Flag. It is a modified form of the city's colonial arms bestowed in the 16th century. The arms consist of a pre-Hispanic shield, horizontally divided into red and blue fields. The top, red half depicts the city's nickname, "Pearl of the Orient", while the lower, blue half is charged with a sea-lion surmounting the waves of the River Pasig and Manila Bay. The sea-lion originally represented the islands's former colonial status as an ''ultramar'' (overseas) possession of Spain, and is ultimately derived from the arms of the León. The arms are surrounded by a white roundel containing the words ''Lungsod ng Maynila'' and ''Pilipinas'' (Filipino, "City of Manila"; "Philippines"), and six yellow stars representing the city's six congressional districts.
