Provincial coat of arms of Buybuyan/Bulacan

#bulacan #philippines #pilipinas #filipino #pilipino #heraldry #coatofarms #coat_of_arms #alternatehistory #alternate_history #althistory #alt_history
The Buybuyanen/Buybuyense coat of arms is composed of two important elements: At the lower two-thirds of the arms is a kapok/silk cotton tree [derived from the colonial-era coat of arms of Portuguese/Spanish Guinea (courtesy of Heralder) by colleague TheTelugu in the Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry thread] over an Azure field, symbolizing not just the provincial etymology ("buybuy" is the Luuk term for kapok/silk cotton tree) but also its importance in every aspect of the province in general, while in the upper one-third is a single sun (courtesy of Henry Salomé) over a Gules fied, symbolizing the fact that the province was the northern part of the pre-colonial kingdom of Tondo-Namayan (see: Mutia nan Katimuran). And finally, a variant of Binulawang Salakot (Golden Salakot)a variant of Binulawang Salakot (Golden Salakot) at the top to confirm that the province is an integrated part of the Kingdom of the Philippines (with its federal-parliamentary form of government).

Coat of arms of the Province of Masbate

#masbate #sorsogon #philippines #pilipinas #filipino #pilipino #coatofarms #heraldry #alternatehistory #alternate_history #althistory #alt_history
The (alternate) Masbateño coat of arms is derived from its nearest OTL counterpart, that of Diocese of Masbate (courtesy of GiovanniYosh12, with additional modifications by colleague FriendlyGhost in the Request Maps/Flags/Coat of Arms thread), where it depicted the island-province's etymology and location [an island with masbad (a lot of gold) surrounded by bodies of water]; at the top of the island are a palm tree (courtesy of Henry Salome) and a cattle (courtesy of Etxeko), derived from its OTL provincial seal. And finally, a variant of Binulawang Salakot (Golden Salakot)a variant of Binulawang Salakot (Golden Salakot) at the top to confirm that it's indeed part of the Kingdom of the Philippines.
