Ever wondered what the iconic ASEAN Emblem represents? Beyond its familiar circle and bundle of padi stalks are symbols of unity, peace, courage, purity, and prosperity—values that reflect ASEAN’s shared vision for the region.

🌾 Ten stalks of paddy – symbolize the founding fathers’ vision of ASEAN unity and solidarity among the countries of Southeast Asia.
🔵 Blue – represents peace and stability
🔴 Red – symbolizes courage and dynamism
⚪ White – stands for purity
🟡 Yellow – signifies prosperity
⭕ Circle – represents the unity of ASEAN

💡The original ASEAN emblem was designed by Mohammad Radzi Hanif of Malaysia. He created the winning design as a 22-year-old design student at the MARA Institute of Technology during a regional design competition held from 1977 to 1978. His design was later adapted into the ASEAN emblem we know today.

The Philippines is one of ASEAN’s founding members, having played a vital role in advancing regional cooperation since the Association’s establishment in 1967. As ASEAN’s Chairmanship rotates among its Member States, the Philippines has also taken on the responsibility of leading the region, most recently in 2017 during ASEAN’s 50th anniversary.

The Chairmanship rotates annually among its Member States, following the alphabetical order of the English names of the countries. The country holding the Chairmanship leads ASEAN meetings and helps set the organization’s priorities and agenda for the year.

Through CHED Regional Office I’s Project LINK, CHED RO1 supports higher education institutions in building meaningful linkages and partnerships that connect Region I’s HEIs to opportunities beyond borders—strengthening their capacity to participate in the wider ASEAN and global higher education community. 🤝🌏

Together, these pillars serve as the foundation for regional integration and cooperation, promoting *peace and stability, inclusive economic growth, and a better quality of life for nearly 700 million people across Southeast Asia.*

As part of *ASEAN Month*, the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office I continues to promote awareness, cooperation, and internationalization among higher education institutions in Region I. 🎓🌏
