Coat of arms of Sergio Utleg
Adopted
2011
Helm
Archbishop's Galero The shield is surmounted by an archbishop's galero or ecclesiastical hat of this rank with ten tassels for each side in Vert (green) that signifies the rank of an Archbishop.
Motto
Veritas liberabit vos "The truth will set you free" the motto is taken from John 8:31.
Other elements
Archbishop's Cross The shield is also surmounted by an archbishop's cross of the Order of Preachers. A reminder of the priestly formation he received from the Dominican sisters of Saint Vincent Institute in Solana and the University of Santo Tomas Central Seminary in Manila.
Symbolism
The blue wavy lines, a symbol present in both the seal of the Archbishop and the Archdiocese, stand for the great Cagayan River on whose banks the Archbishop grew up and worked, which empties into the Babuyan Channel near Aparri, his last parish assignment. The fleur-de-lys in its center represents Our Lady of Piat. On the upper right side is a white dove on a gold background symbolizing the Spirit of freedom; gold stands for mobility and power, white for purity and humility; both are Papal colors. On a green background, emblazoned in red are the Greek letters Alpha and Omega. They stand for the ever-burning Truth; the Green background is the symbol of life of hope. On the lower right stand three ears of corn. They represent three important places in the life and ministry of the Archbishop, the towns of Solana and Alcala, his birthplace and his parish assignment, respectively; and the province of Isabela, the territorial jurisdiction of the Diocese of Ilagan, where his first assignment as a bishop was. In these places, corn is one of their main produce. The left side of the shield is dominated with green. This represents the wide fertile land of the Province of Cagayan. On the upper left side are two keys de-bruising a Latin cross with its head downwards. These are symbols of Saint Peter, titular of the cathedral. Tuguegarao, the seat of the Archdiocese, etymologically means “fire at daytime” (tuguig arao) hence the sun at its side and the symbols of fire at the middle left. On the lower left are mountains drawn in the Italian heraldic style symbolizing the high mountain ranges of Sierra Madre and Cordillera that surrounds the province of Cagayan.
