Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina A. Roque recently met with global tech leader Google to explore strategic partnerships aimed at enhancing the country’s digital infrastructure, internet connectivity, and digital workforce development.
The partnership establishes a credit linkage system between the Philippines and South Korea, enabling nationals of both countries to use their domestic credit histories to access financial services abroad.
The strategic collaboration aligns the strengths of the country’s largest bank and its leading investment promotion agency, combining financial expertise with business facilitation and infrastructure support for international firms seeking to establish or expand operations locally.
The Asian Next Wave Film Forum, which featured a vibrant lineup of panels and masterclasses, dove into the creative and commercial aspects of the cinematic shift now happening in Asian cinema: how filmmakers are blending artistic boldness with mass, genre appeal.
