   UNIT LOGO (Symbols and Representation)
The 43rd Infantry Battalion Emblem is primarily designed to represent the noble ideals and objectives of the 43rd Infantry Battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The Blue background of the seal and the White Clouds ceiling over the fields and mountains connotes the peace and serenity reigning all over the countryside which we are to protect and uphold with all our might.
The Yellow color of the number 43rd and our motto "WE SEARCH" speaks of the golden goals and aspiration of our Battalion which are to uphold the Constitution of the Republic, to defend the nation from internal as well as external aggression and, to safeguard the peace that now prevail nationwide.
The Three (3) Yellow Stars represents the three (3) big islands of the archipelago, namely, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The Eagle is the king of the forest. Ferocious and vigilant, he reigns majestically over his dominion. The Eagle is a disciplined and patience bird. His ferocity complements his patience, for he can wait perch from high branches without detection nor the sound just waiting for his prey. He is quick and sure of his moves. His wings are wide and strong. The Beak is his primary weapon is unbreakable and dependable. The sealed talons of the Eagle speak of his maturity in the many battles he has fought such as the 43rd Infantry Battalion. We aspire to be the best in the art of soldiery. We believed that with our discipline and patience weakens the enemy. Like the beak of the Eagle, our unceasing determination gives us strength and dependability in the face of any mission we undertake.
The Wide Spread Wings signifies our vow to protect and uphold the law, the peace and serenity of the nation. Like the talons of the Eagle, maturity in our decision and commitment towards attainment are our noble ideals and aspirations.
The Armalite is the basic weapon of the unit and held below the Eagle to signify that the civilians reign supreme over the military might. It also reveal to us that aside of its primary task to fight in defense of the country and people, it can also perform civic-oriented services towards nation building development.
