The Bogo Times brings you another taste of History. Let's go back in time and take a look at Bogo's old Municipal Seal. (Sorry for the pixelated photo. We can't find any other version online.)

| Municipality of Bogo Official Seal |
THE TREE
The tree that dominates at the center of the seal retraces the unforgettable founding legend of the town. The community that first started as a mere gathering of fisherman and fish-buyers under a Bogo tree grows to what is now dubbed as queen of Northern Cebu.
THE CHURCH
It occupies a big space in the seal, signifying what the people of the town intrinsically are God-loving, religious, and whatsoever of the kind that respect the supreme authority of our omnipotent maker.
THE SUGARCANE
It simply represents one of the major crops raised in the town. Majority of the people is earning their living as sugar cane landowners or laborers.
THE PLOW
Some people live as farmers being an agricultural town, too. Some farmers earn their living either as hired plovers or tillers in other farms, because usually they are tilling smaller lots of land, being that bigger lands are developed as sugar haciendas.
THE FISH
Some barangays like Nailon, Odlot, Polambato, Siokon, and Gairan are all strategically located and considered as fish centers. Some catch in Bogo is transported to other neighboring towns and Cebu City.
THE SHIP
Being ideally located a landlocked bay that could provide a safe haven for sea motorists during bad weathers, sea transportation has become a bustling activity and boat riding is a fast craze in town.
THE STARS
Stars represent the 29 barangays comprising the town of Bogo. Stars suit the representation as when bunched or bounded together could give a light much brighter than a moon. These 29 barangays are Bogo's stars, and there continue flickering even in the thick of clouds.
