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.

“thinking of
leaning on the john door in the 5 SPOT
while she whispered a song along the keyboard
to Mal Waldron and everyone and I stopped breathing”
