The Philippine Trade and Investment Center–London (PTIC-London), together with H.E. Ambassador Teodoro L. Locsin Jr. and colleagues from the Philippine Embassy in the United Kingdom, attended a private screening of Forgotten Island, an animated adventure inspired by the rich folklore and mythology of the Philippines, hosted by Rebel Kitchen.
