Centro Regional de Educación "Saturio Ríos"

CRESR flagimage by Ivan Sache, 06 August 2006

About the Flag

The flag of CRESR is white with a dark red triangle, not reaching the edges of the flag, charged with the yellow letters "CRESR". The "Impact" font seems to be a correct approximation of the font used on the real flag, which is shown on a photography on the CRESR website. The flag was designed by two teachers of CRESR, María Luisa Castillo and Martina C�rdenas. Garnet red (rojo granate) represents the flower of the chivato salpicada de amarillo* , a tree that grows profusely near the center. White is the symbol of the purity of the children and of the youth.

*Chivato is the name given in Argentina and Paraguay to the Royal Poinciana, D. regia (Boj. ex Hook.) Raf., a tree native from Madagascar, aka Flamboyant (FlameTree) or Malinche. The Portuguese word chivato, "a pimp", alludes to the bright red, profuse flowers of the tree. The biggest petal (standard) of the flower is white and yellow-spotted, which might explain the salpicado de amarillo(yellow-spotted) epithet.

About the Flag

The flag of FP-UNA is white with the faculty's seal in canton, "FP - UNA" near the top of the flag, and the faculty's motto "Construyendo el Futuro" (Building the Future) near the bottom of the flag. In May 2010, FP-UNA staff members of the first Paraguayan Antarctic expedition displayed the flag in different sites.

The seal of FP-UNA is made of an open book flanked by branches tied under the book and surrounded by two concentric rings, the inner ring charged with "FACULDAD POLITECNICA / VITAM IMPENDERE VERO", the outer ring charged with "UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE ASUNCION / REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY". The faculty's Latin motto, "Vitam impendere vero", "To devote one�s life to truth", is borrowed from the Latin poet Juvenal (IV, 91).
