In line with the Philippine Independence Day, Google Philippines‘ web site shows a unique doodle design that displays a sun and its eight rays as the first ‘O’ in the Google logo.
“This is the first-ever Google doodle for the Philippines so we wanted to make it very classic and meaningful for Filipinos. We created a special doodle on the Google Philippines homepage for June 12, 2009 to commemorate the Philippines’ Independence Day,” said Jay Trinidad, Regional Product Marketing Manager, Consumer Products, Google Asia Pacific.
“We also used red, white, and blue, the Philippines’ national colors, which stand for patriotism, equality, and justice, respectively. We also incorporated the flag’s three stars in the design, symbolizing the three major geographic regions of the country,” he said.
On June 12, 1898, Philippines daclared it’s independence from Spanish rule that lasted almost 400 years. Making this day the 111th anniversary of its declaration of independence.
