BEIJING 2008 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games emblem" Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing" is filled with Beijing's hospitality and hopes and carries the city to the world. It is a symbol of trust and an expression of self-confidence, standing for the solemn yet sacred promise that Beijing, the host city of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games has made to the world and to all mankind.   It conveys the unique cultural quality and elegance of Chinese civilization.  The Chinese government promoted the Games and invested heavily in new facilities and transportation systems.

The Philippine stamps will feature four graphic designs with two different colored background at the upper right corner and lower left corner. The different colors of the background symbolize unity from all corners of the world. Also, the Philippine Olympic Committee Logo is shown on the lower right corner to signify its support to Filipino athletes who are competing in the Games.
