Logo, Theme Song and Mascot
The logo was inspired by previous Paralympic Games logos and the 1992 Summer Olympics logo. The four colors represent the four primary colors of the Philippine flag. The three stars symbolize the three main geographical regions of the Philippines as well as the three objectives of the games. The upward position of the arm symbolizes the aspiration for equality and regional unity. The games' theme song was Power Of My Dream sung by Broadway actress and Tony Award winner Lea Salonga.
The mascot is Buboy Butanding, a whale shark, the largest fish in the world, which can be seen in the waters off the eastern coast of the province of Sorsogon.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
