The DOTC logo, an eagle within a

circular background part of which
is a five-cogged wheel, represents
three things: transportation,
communications, and the ultimate
goal of the Department. The eagle,
our national bird, is large and
striking, graceful in flight, and free
the embodiment of what the
country wants its transportation
and communications to be, big
enough in scale and scope to
transport the largest possible
number of people in comfort and
ease to any point in the
archipelago; the heights the eagle
can reach represent the optimum
position for communications the
greater the height, the more areas
and people it can serve.
