20th Congress First Privilege Speech

“A brighter future is within reach… but it will not be handed to us.” Sa ating pinakaunang privilege speech, we called for strategic investments in the creative industries. They are already a significant economic force, a jobs engine, and a global strength of Filipinos. With proper funding, policies, and partnerships, the creative industries can serve as both a short-term economic boost and a long-term driver of national prosperity, global competitiveness, and cultural pride. Kaya naman atin itong pagyamanin at pagtuunan ng panahon at pansin. Mabuhay ang Malikhaing Pinoy!
