The Royal Thai Embassy in Manila, in cooperation with Siam Cement Group (SCG) and Mariwasa, launched the logo of a special edition Mariwasa tile at the “Worldbex 2019,” at the World Trade Center Convention, celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between the Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of the Philippines.
The special edition Mariwasa tile features a commemorative logo, designed for the occasion to represent the warm and close friendship between the two countries and peoples.
The logo of the 70th Anniversary, designed by Jamille Aguilar, the third prize winner of Prince Mahidol Award Conference Art Contest 2016, is printed on the special edition tile.
The logo showcases an abstract design featuring iconic animals which are meaningful for the two countries. The National Fish, the Siamese Fighting Fish, is presented for Thailand, while the Philippines is represented by its National Bird, the Philippine Eagle. Both animals present an aura of beauty, grace, and courage that parallel one another. They are also decked in the respective colors of their National Flags.
The wings of the eagle and the tail of the fish also act as hands reaching out to one another. The way they are positioned is in an endless loop, symbolizing unity, and the infinity of strong bond of friendship that is ongoing for 70 years and will continue to grow for the years to come.
Under this logo, the Royal Thai Embassy in Manila, in cooperation with the Philippine partners and various Thai government agencies and private sector in the Philippines, will hold commemorative activities throughout the year to promote the bilateral relations in all dimensions and levels to celebrate this auspicious occasion
