Marikina City Symbol
The History of The Man with the “Salakot”
The City Symbol Design of Marikina
Parameter of Performance
The Marikina city Symbol focuses on the character of its people represented by a man wearing a “salakot” (headgear) and “camisa chino” (Chinese shirt) framed by an arch.
The “salakot” traces the man’s native origin, the “camisa chino,” his oriental character, and the arch framed his Hispanic past. The arched frame also represents the community and the limits of one’s individuality.
The faceless head personifies the individual who is one with his community, one who lived by the norms of good conduct (mabuting ugali), in harmony with his neighbor and one who gives honor to his community as he does to himself.
Discipline, Good Taste and Excellence are traits represented by the short buttons as one’s commitment to pursue with zeal and ardor.
The city symbol was designed by then Mayor Bayani F. Fernando.

Alvin Aljecera: Marikina is the Best in TOWN!!!
Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D

Very nationalistic ang design. I like it. May ganito din kaya ang ibang cities or provinces sa Pinas? Walang pumasok sa isip ko kundi ang sa Makati. =)
meron din ang QC di ba? ewan ko kung ang aking siyudad ng pasay ay meron din…
Thanks for this information. I would never have known about this. Good job and please continue to provide us with more of these…
