📸 ELEVATING THE CHILD-FRIENDLY MEDIA LANDSCAPE

From October 27 to 28, 2026, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) served as Creative Partner in the Philippine Conference on Children and Media (PCCM) 2026 at Novotel Manila Araneta City.

With the theme ‘Building a Safe, Dynamic, and Child-Friendly Media Environment,’ the conference brought together institutions, creative professionals, members of the academe, and advocates to discuss ways to create media that is safe, empowering, and supportive of children’s rights.

Together, let us continue working toward a safer, more inclusive, and child-friendly media environment for all Filipinos. 💫

This event was held in partnership with the National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT).

Meaningful conversations and networking opportunities kept the Philippine delegation busy on Day 3 at the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) 2026.

The FDCP attended the Industry Days Lunch hosted by the Embassy of France in Singapore where filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals from across Asia and Europe gathered to build connections, expand their networks, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Joining the agency were Filipino producers Quark Henares and Reign de Guzman from Ilaya Ilaya Studios.

The delegation met with Asian Screen Institute (ASI) President Simon Hunter, who hosted a tour of ASI's facilities. The group got a glimpse of the creative space where Asian filmmakers are nurtured, gaining inspiration for the next generation of Filipino filmmakers, and discussed potential partnerships in film education.

The FDCP team was also received by Ruben Hattari, Netflix Director of Global Affairs for Southeast Asia, and was given a tour of the Netflix Headquarters in Singapore, followed by further discussions on other areas of collaboration. The team also had the opportunity to meet Andrew Ure, Netflix Vice President for Global Affairs, APAC.

Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition continued with its second batch of screenings, featuring Jaime Morados’ ‘They Made Monsters’ under the program ‘The Forest Remembers.’ A talkback session with the filmmakers followed the screening, offering audiences deeper insights into the stories and the issues they tackled.
