As other towns looked to cattle, coffee, sugar, or fruit as a source of prosperity, Guayanilla sought to distinguish itself as a center for the experiments that supplied the Republic’s burgeoning need for electrification.

Mascot: Fulminatriz

(fulminar “shout, electrify” + -atriz feminine agentive suffix)

Fulminatriz, the mascot of the Eléctricos de Guayanilla, is a yellow butterfly with angry red compound eyes, and red wings whose borders are decorated with yellow thunderbolts and black edges, the tops spotted with white and the bottoms with black.
