A sea lion holding a dagger at the right hand, facing the left flank, superimposed the anchor. One silver star is fised at each tip and another on top of the ring linkage of the anchor for Senior Command at Sea Badge and Senior Command at Sea Badge with star(s). The whole badge is gold plated for the Command at Sea Badge and silver-plated for the other badge.
The sea lion over an anchor is the international symbol of the sea-borne people; sampaguita garland signifies the dignity and nobility of the commander; and the three stars symbolize the three major islands of the Philippines. |
