The Provincial Seal of Bohol has the following inscriptions:

Chocolate Hills : the famous tourist attraction symbolizes the Boholano's belief in the dignity of labor. The supplementary background of green in the reproduction of the Province's "Coat of Arms" is interpretative of Bohol as an agricultural province, that the people depend much of their livelihood on farming.

Blood Compact : The Sikatuna - Legaspi Blood Compact symbolizes the Boholano's love for peace.

The two Bolos: The bolos with their handle and hand-guards on top, rclining respectively towards the left and right depicts the Dagohoy and Tamblot revolts; that a true Boholano will rise, and will have to fight if supervening factors embroil them into it unreasonably and unbearably.

The Lone Star: The Lone Star represents Carlos P. Garcia, a native son of Talibon who was the only Philippine President produced by the Province of Bohol. Another star shall be added for every Boholano who shall also become president of the Philippines.
