Seal of The President of The Philippines - Evolution of The Presidential Seal

Evolution of The Presidential Seal

  • An early version of the seal, with the text "SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES".
    This version was in general use from 1947 until 1951.

  • A 1965 instance of the Seal.
    The ring of stars surrounding the Presidential Coat-of-Arms was added in 1951.

  • A 1969 instance of the Seal. The English text was changed to "SAGISAG NG PANGULO NG PILIPINAS" at an unspecified time between 1965 to 1969, during the term of Ferdinand E. Marcos.

  • In 1981, the seal was again revised. The triangle was inverted, and the Sea-lion of Manila was changed to an eagle. The text would also be in script.
    Some variants retained the upward-pointing triangle, but the design above was more frequently used.

  • In 1986, during the term of Corazón C. Aquino, the Seal was restored to its pre-1981 version but with text in a serif font.
    This seal would be in general use until 2004. At this point, the features of the Sea-lion are nearly indistinguishable.

  • Present version, as prescribed by
    Executive Order № 310.
