About The Logo
The logo is presented with the name San Nicolas Express BIN-I Foundation – Ilocos Norte, Inc. which is a product of enthusiasm and passion that make a difference in the lives of the San Nicoleños. It was founded in 2004 but it started its operations even before it was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of the urgent need.
The three flames speak of fervor for education. The longest flame symbolizes the citizenry, the middle flame represents the local officialdom and the third flame represents the private sector, all working hand-in-hand for the betterment of the community. The flames produce heat that characterizes the zeal of its people to realize their dreams and aspirations. They represent the people’s plea for change – thus, the word EXPRESS (EXponents of Political Reform for Economic and Social Stability). The pot is the town itself, a God-given gift. The golden grains are the bin-i or the seeds to sow. BIN-I itself is an acronym which stands for:
B – ballaigi or success which is achieved through endeavors of the foundation, of the people behind, and of the beneficiaries; I– imbag or goodness sowed will yield good harvest that radiates to the community. The founder is guided by the saying, “Love is like the gentle rain that gives life and hope to a parched land.” N – namnama or hope that speaks of the bright hope of the people especially the beneficiaries for a brighter future, and, I – iget or perseverance in helping in the endeavors of the foundation for a well-founded commitment and concern for the welfare of the people. The logo is a product of the imaginative mind of the founder, Dr. Alfredo P. Valdez, Jr.
The BIN-I foundation stimulates the community to support deserving but financially- challenged students to aim high and achieve their dreams. The Mayor has always been very vocal about the importance of the dreams and aspirations of the beneficiaries as he always say, “I am honored to play even a small part in your BIG dreams.”
