According to DTI undersecretary and head of DTI’s Trade and Investments Promotion Group, Ms. Nora Terrado, she envisions CREATE Philippines to make the country itself a “creative city.”
She also looks forward to CREATE Philippines being recognized by UNESCO and to empower local artists, intensify intensive collaborations between other artists and businessmen across the globe, and focus on “innovation and transfiguration,” which will make the Philippines an archipelago of creatives.
CREATE Philippines will cover the country’s content industry. It will focus on fast-growing sectors, such as Visual Arts and Graphic Design, Advertising Content and Production, Film and Animation, Digital games and apps, Music, and the Performing Arts.
