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:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
