Meanwhile, the two blue stripes are meant to depict the goals for the future. </p><p>The rising sun &quot;signifies the dawn of the new Philippines,&quot; the PCO said, while the weave pattern is meant to depict the &quot;interconnectedness and unity of the Filipino people.&quot;</p><p>The logo was produced internally by the PCO. According to the office, it was &quot;accomplished without any cost to the government.&quot;</p><p>All government offices are required to adopt the &quot;Bagong Pilipinas&quot; logo and incorporate it in &quot;letterheads, websites, official social media accounts and other documents and instruments pertaining to flagship programs of the government,&quot; the memorandum said.</p><p>The announcement of the brand came around a year since Marcos assumed the presidency.</p><p>Marcos&#x27; predecessors have also had their own governance and leadership campaigns.</p><p>His father and namesake wrote a book and included his “Bagong Lipunan” campaign in his State of the Nation Address in 1976.</p><p>The late President Fidel V. Ramos was known for his “Philippines 2000” socio-economic push, while Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sought to establish a “Strong Republic” during her presidency.</p><p>The late President Benigno Aquino III governed under the “Daang Matuwid” slogan.</p><div><strong>REACTIONS</strong></div><p>The slogan was met with criticism from Gabriela, Kabataan, and the ACT Teachers partylists.</p><p>In a statement on Sunday, Gabriela said the slogan is &quot;replete with ironies&quot; and noted that a rebrand won&#x27;t provide solutions to problems including low wages and poverty. </p><p>&quot;Ang dapat na pagtuunan ng pansin ng gobyerno ay pagpapatupad ng signipikanteng umento sa sahod sa kagyat, at pambansang industriyalisasyon at repormang agraryo para sa pundamental na pang-ekonomiyang pagbabago,&quot; said Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Arlene Brosas.</p><p>Meanwhile, Kabataan Partylist Executive Vice President Renee Louise Co said: &quot;Sana &#x27;di &#x27;to maging logo rebrand fail.&quot;</p><p>House Deputy Minority leader and ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. France Castro, meanwhile, said that Marcos Jr. &quot;should focus on the substance.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Mas kailangan ng mamamayan ang isang administrasyon na seryosong tumututok sa pangangailangan nila: sahod, trabaho, food security, pagbaba ng presyo ng bilihin, karapatan. Kahit anong rebranding gawin pero di umaaksyon sa mga ito, puro pagpapabango lang ang labas,&quot; said Castro. </p><div><strong>FROM THE ARCHIVES: </strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2697459" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
