Design Center of the Philippines recently received a merit award in the Communications Management Division - Community Relations Category at the highly-prestigious 16th Philippine Quill Awards.
Through the ASEAN Creative Cities Forum and Exhibition, Design Center was honored for its ability to galvanize the creative community not just in the Philippines but also in other ASEAN countries. This event inspired the City of Baguio to become the first UNESCO Creative City in the Philippines and one of the only five creative cities in the ASEAN region.
With the support of Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Design Center organized the ASEAN Creative Cities Forum and Exhibition to provide a platform for government, policy makers, business and creative communities and the academe to share insights on how best to advance the development of the ASEAN region’s creative economy, through creative cities and creative clusters. The ASEAN Creative Cities Forum and Exhibition is also one of the great and effective venues to help promote and strengthen the design industry in the country.
