We are also joining to represent the Philippines (Professional category). Here’s our entry:
For our seatbelt design, we used shades that represent Philippines’ unique culture and heritage. Yellow is a light color, it symbolizes happiness, cheerfulness, optimism and enthusiasm. It represents the Filipino’s attitude towards life. Filipinos are able to maintain a joyful and positive spirit even when faced with challenges. We combined it with the rising sun which symbolizes hope.
Red is a strong and a warm color, it signifies determination, passion, desire and love. Filipinos are hard-working people. We are determined to succeed and are passionate in everything we do. Filipinos are loving, caring and hospitable people.
The doodles represent Philippines’ wonderful culture and heritage. It highlights the scenic places, foods and dishes, festivals and everything unique about the Philippines.
