The anniversary logo was introduced on two videos, expounding on the agency's long and eventful journey in fulfilling its mandate and its most recent battle cry promoting its mission to Inform, Inform, Inform and to Explain, Explain, Explain to the Filipino people the many programs of the government.

The anniversary theme: "PILIPINAS, IKAW AT AKO", as described by Director-General Cualoping was a slogan explaining the driving force of the agency as it contributes to the whole-of-nation approach in triumphing against any challenges and achieving a better nation -- a comfortable life for all Filipinos.

The main highlight of the event was showcasing the symbolic structure at the lobby of the PIA Central Office. It was officially opened for viewing and was presented in a 3D anamorphic design made of photos of PIA employees in action during the pandemic, exhibiting unity as they continuously serve the nation despite the difficulties and challenges they encounter every day. The said structure was built by the Creative Production Services Division in collaboration with the PIA 35th Anniversary Committee.
