I was honored to welcome Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the Philippines, Laure Beaufils, to my office, along with British Council Country Director Lotus Postrado and their team, during their courtesy visit to Bacolod City.

They are in full support as we are trying to position Bacolod as a creative city for film and working towards becoming a prospective UNESCO Creative City. Building on the city’s vibrant programs, such as the Bacolod Film Festival, and its thriving community of independent filmmakers, we are steadily moving toward this global recognition.

Joining the meeting were Assistant Director Jo-Dann Darong and Engiemar Tupas of DTI, as well as Noelle Aguado from the Office of HMA.

In Bacolod, we are dedicated in fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural advancement.
