Notes

Artist: Steve Yambao
The rose originally symbolized the armiger’s devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is associated with a miracle of the roses. The armiger appreciates its simplicity. The rose is also canting to his given name, Jerricho, which is derived from the Canaanite word for “fragrant”. The bear is a canting reference to his family name, Garcia, which traces to a Basque word for the animal. The eagle symbolizes his patron saint, St. John the Apostle, as well as his home of Davao City. The four colors are taken from the flag of the Philippines and of China and reflect his heritage.

College of Arms 2016-volume 179, page 244

Notes

Badge: The top of a tower Or on the battlements thereof a Griffin statant Sable supporting between the wings a Maltese Cross Or.
The Ulster-Scots surname “Gregg” means “Vigilant”. The motto of “Vigilance and Altruistic Unity” and the design of the shield reflects the concept of vigilance and the armiger’s Christian faith. The wings represent the service of the armiger as an officer in the US Air Force Auxiliary.
The Crest is a black griffin, symbolizing vigilance, strength and courage standing on a tower signifying vigilance. The griffin is displaying the Maltese Cross of the Order of St. John between its wings. As the armiger a businessman, the helmet is a “tilting helmet”, the “business” helmet of mounted warriors. The armiger’s badge is the crest of the arms.
