Symbolisms:

2. Galleon ships - maritime trade and shipping of the city, home to the Cagayan de Oro Port and Container Terminal
3. Pineapple fruit - the pineapple canning industry of the city, represented by Del Monte Philippines and Philpack (Philippine Packing Corp.)
4. Coconut tree - the agricultural and forestry industry of the city
5. Barry wavy of Azure and Argent (render of the sea) - the Macajalar Bay
6. Three golden stars in the chief - the three main island groups of the country: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao
