Coat of Arms


The ACF Real Molinillo coat of arms is a visual representation of what the club is and what it attempts to embody.

The main shield contains an antique coffee grinder, which is an essential representation not only of the club's name but also of the city where it is based. The grinder also calls to mind Lipa City's proud history as a center for coffee production during the Spanish colonial era.

Flanking the shield are coffee leaves with red coffee berries. While the city is no longer the center for coffee production that it once was, there are still sizable plantations in its outskirts.

At the top of the shield are roasted coffee beans, symbolic of the city's ability to grow coffee but also to produce the roasted, ground and packaged product that it is known for even in the present day.

At the bottom of the shield is the club motto "Servo flammo igneus," Latin for "Keep the fires of burning." This simple motto contains the rationale behind ACF Real Molinillo was formed: for football players in the city of Lipa and province of Batangas to keep the fires of passion for the game of football burning.

The ACF coat of arms was designed by founding club member Gregg Anthony Atijon.
