The manufacturing sector plays an important part in the country’s economic recovery. Once a year, the stakeholders gather together to review and discuss the manufacturing sector’s performance, study recent developments, and look at the present issues or concerns, as well as the ways to address them. The Manufacturing Summit is happening online this year with the theme: Shaping the Future of Philippine Industries: The Road to Resiliency through Innovation. You can register via https://bit.ly/mfgsummit2022 to attend the summit virtually, or watch the live-streamed event at fb.com/DTI.CIG on June 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Some of the topics to be presented and discussed include Economic Reforms for National Resiliency; Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act; Restructuring Fiscal Incentives; Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) and Advanced Manufacturing Policies, Digital Transformation and Future Skills Requirements, and STI-centered i3S, which stands for Inclusive Innovation Industrial Strategy. This focuses on “building competitive and innovative industries in the country, and strengthening their linkages in regional production networks and global value chains.”
The country has been on the road to industrialization and digital transformation. The Summit will look at the Philippines’ accomplishments and growth in this area, as well as the manufacturing-related policies we have recently adopted. As the Duterte administration ends, the conference will also highlight the gains of the last six years and discuss the use of technologies that can support the establishment of more resilient industries.
Stakeholders and participants are encouraged to share their ideas on how to move the industry forward as we implement the laws and strategies applicable to the said sector.

It’s nice to see some of the pre-pandemic activities come to life again as we gradually return to normal, or to live our new normal lifestyles. One of them is the annual free music event Fête de la Musique, which held two online editions in 2020 and 2021. Finally, this year, the festival is back to physical setups.
There will be live celebrations all over the nation: Siargao Island stage (June 21), Makati Pocket Stages (June 24), Sofitel Manila Stage (June 23, 24), Cebu Island Stages (June 25, 26), Baguio Island Stage (June 26), Palawan Island Stages (June 26, 28), and the Main Stage in Puerta Real Gardens, Intramuros (June 25 at 4:00 p.m.). It’s not just going to be a showcase of music and musicians, but also of the country’s prime tourist destinations. This is aligned with the Fête’s partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT).
Brought to you by the Alliance Francaise de Manille, the Fête is celebrated in 130 countries and showcases some of the country’s best musicians. This year, there will be a “generous French-Filipino cross-cultural exchange while also harnessing the healing power of music, forging new friendships, and building and supporting communities.” The 75th anniversary of Franco-Philippine bilateral relations is also being celebrated at the event.
