The Capital–Creative Gap

Traditional capital is structurally allergic to the timelines of craft and legitimate sustainability practices. It relegates creative ventures (which are usually women-led) into simply “lifestyle businesses” at best, and “obstacles to resources” at worst.

Due to this, 98% of climate and impact funding ignores the Creative Economy and how it holds the keys to cultural and environmental resilience.

Creativity x Climate

The immense power of the Creative Industry can be seen in the influence of the United States, Japan, and South Korean culture on a global scale. This can and has been used to promote climate solutions and consciousness for sustainability.

New Age media as climate proponents

Among our partners, an eco-cultural movie entitled Baradiya was produced by National Geographic Explorer Gab Mejia, starring Kulahi Pangantucan Performing Arts’ Krystahl Guina.

The film follows a Talaandig-Manobo indigenous trans woman (Guina) who must uphold her community's culture by becoming a Babaylan (a Filipino shaman). Amid the destruction of her ancestral land in Bukidnon, she finds meaning in her ancestry and embraces her destiny.

Screened in international film festivals, the deep connection between indigenous culture and environmental issues are put at the forefront.

Bridging a fragmented nation

Deep misconceptions between regions still exist. We aim to dispel prejudice and build more bridges between the different ethnolinguistic groups across the archipelago to strengthen ourselves against the severe impact of hardened power and climate change.

Harnessing Indigenius

Among these Indigenous communities exist 25 Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA) or National Living Treasures.

These individuals are carry legacies of cultures who deeply revere the environment as more than just a landscape, but as the womb and symbiotic protector.

Here, we intend to create more.

Collaborate, not compete

Traditional business practice rooted in Western individualism has only weakened an already fragmented nation and industry. We must use our natural inclination for community and collaboration to forge stronger tools if we wish further ourselves in the global arena.

We aim to pay forward and be a major player in developing the creative industry ecosystem by investing in other creative enterprises with groundbreaking, high-quality IP that appeals to a global audience.

Creatives are a nation’s secret weapon

Recognizing the power of a creative industry in propelling a nation’s economy, R.A. 11904 a.k.a the Philippine Creative Industry Development Act was passed.

The Philippine Creative Industries Month (PCIM) was made to promote and celebrate the role of creatives in nation-building and socioeconomic advancement in stride with other nations’ developed art programs.

Art and Impact

In the latest Philippine report by Asia-Europe Foundation’s Culture360, creative initiatives across the archipelago are almost always involved in social or environmental causes.

Culture & Legacy

Initiatives that bridge cultural heritage and luxury design (such as Manila FAME, MaArte Fair, Bodega Design Caravan Cebu, and Katutubo Pop-Up Market by Bench to name a few) reiterate how true wealth does not simply whisper, but echoes through the generations.

Nature is wealth

In the age of industrialization as development, the overuse of concrete has rendered natural landscapes and resources scarce.

Many urban dwellers are disconnected from the wealth of nature that brings us physical, mental, and spiritual health.
