The three red stripes symbolize major development periods throughout history: the post-war agricultural and rural development; the post-colonial period; and the current metropolitan development.
The two blue stripes symbolize the goals for the future – a progressive Philippines that leverages technological advancement in pursuing sustainable industrial development.
The rising sun signifies the dawn of a new Philippines, symbolizing our desire to take the center stage in the global market and community of nations.
The weave pattern illustrates the interconnectedness and unity of the Filipino people, as the vision of a Bagong Pilipinas can only be achieved through collective effort, collaboration, and a shared commitment to progress. Just as individual strands come together to form a strong and intricate weave, the Filipino people, with their diverse backgrounds, talents, and rich cultural heritage, contribute to the strength of the nation.
Overall, the Bagong Pilipinas logo embodies the Marcos Administration’s vision for the country, emphasizing unity, involvement, and the bayanihan culture as the main fibers and components for its full realization.
The logo was produced internally by the Presidential Communications Office and underwent complete staff work to ensure adherence to the heraldic code. This was accomplished without any cost to the government.
