The Coast Guard Officers’ Course Class 22-17 “GAT - MASALIGAN” is a gallant uniquely structured CGOC Class of the Philippine Coast Guard Academy (formerly known as the Coast Guard Officers’ School). Convened on November 30, 2017, at Bagac, Bataan, the class was composed of three companies from different forms of professions and backgrounds. Honed and united together to embody the finest values and traditions of the Philippine Coast Guard.

The class seal represents a rich symbolic context, reflecting the values, principles, and mission of the class and their commitment to service.

𝑱𝑼𝑹𝑰𝑺, 𝑭𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑺, 𝑯𝑶𝑵𝑶𝑹𝑰𝑺 - the center top banner of the class seal is latin word for “justice, loyalty and honor” reflecting the class virtues of respect and adherence to legal principles, loyalty to the motherland and integrity in pursuit of truth and justice.

𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑬𝑳𝑫 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑯𝑶𝑹 - The shining shield and anchor is the central element of the seal. It portrays a symbol of protection, strength, and preparedness. The anchor represents the long profound maritime foundation of the Coast Guard, signifying steadiness and a guiding role of sea duties in facing challenges and adversities in the service.

𝑺𝑼𝑵 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑺 - The presence of the sun and stars in the seal is from the national ensign, symbolizes a deep sense of patriotism and national pride. The three stars - Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao indicate a nationwide commitment of the class to perform our mandated functions at any point in the country.

𝑪𝑹𝑶𝑺𝑺𝑬𝑫 𝑺𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑺 - the sword symbolizes officers’ readiness and defense. It is a representation of the class standing with courage and honor against lawlessness and unrest.

𝑳𝑨𝑼𝑹𝑬𝑳 𝑾𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯 - the embodiment of laurel is an epitome of victory and achievement. Each bract is a reminder of the rigorous experience, teamwork, and unwavering support the class endured. Thus, symbolizes collective testimony of pride and distinction.

𝑺𝑪𝑨𝑳𝑬𝑺 𝑶𝑭 𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑪𝑬 - the scale on the left and right side symbolizes equality and fairness among comrades. The class must act with impartiality with guided virtues towards our respective duties and responsibilities.

𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑮𝑰𝑶𝑼𝑺 𝑺𝒀𝑴𝑩𝑶𝑳 - the crescent moon and cross at the top of the seal reflect the importance of faith and religious diversity. These symbolize unity and moral integrity amongst muslims and christian anchoring their faith in one true Deity.

𝑹𝑶𝑫 𝑶𝑭 𝑨𝑺𝑪𝑳𝑬𝑷𝑰𝑼𝑺 - the center rod of asclepius in the class seal emphasizes protection and care amongst the members. Moreover, it highlights the humanitarian nature of the Coast Guard service - saving lives.

𝑮𝑨𝑻-𝑴𝑨𝑺𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑮𝑨𝑵 - the "GAT-MASALIGAN" banner at the bottom of the seal stands as a monicker, meaning “Gabay at Tanglaw - Matapat na Serbisyo para sa Ligtas na Karagatan”. The word “GAT” symbolizes an honorific title for noble Filipino heroes who sacrifice their lives for the freedom and liberation of our countrymen. This is commemorated every November 30 - the class convening anniversary. Likewise, “MASALIGAN” suggests a local colloquial term for “trustworthy”. Hence, combining these two words ties CGOC Class 22-17 as honorable and trustworthy individuals ready to lead and protect our country’s maritime interests.
