Globe has partnered with the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) for a year to promote arts and enhance creative education among Filipinos, particularly youth. Globe will co-present CCP’s flagship programs, Cinemalaya 2025, Virgin Labfest XX: Hinog, and the CCP Arts Education Program, which will be implemented nationwide in June. The Globe Community Builders Program will provide students with connectivity, mentorship, grants, internships, and volunteer opportunities to develop creative and digital skills, aligning with CCP’s mission to nurture the next generation of Filipino artists.
Together with the CCP, Globe continues championing creativity and innovation among the Filipino youth. We’re proud to enable future filmmakers, playwrights, and digital creatives through grassroots programs that give them both the inspiration and the infrastructure to succeed,” said Rochelle Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer.
The collaboration further reflects Globe’s commitment to digital inclusion and nation-building through education and culture. The CCP Arts Education Program consists of workshops on multidisciplinary art forms and techniques for educators and students in select schools.
Meanwhile, the Virgin Labfest (VLF) celebrates its 20th year with a fresh batch of untried, untested, and unstaged plays from young Filipino playwrights. It features educational components like the VLF LabTuro, which consists of theater talks and a Playwrights’ Fair. Some of its much-anticipated components are the VLF Writing Fellowship Program, with eight fellows under the age of 30, and a Dramaturgy Fellowship, where young artists undergo playwrighting and theater production training.
Furthermore, Cinemalaya 2025, the country’s premier independent film festival, will spotlight full-length and short films of established names in the industry and emerging student filmmakers this October.
“We are grateful to partner with Globe as we continue to deliver our mandate of promoting and safeguarding our country’s arts and culture. This partnership empowers CCP to bring the arts closer to young people—our future artists and creators—in ways that are both accessible and impactful. Together, we aim to create more platforms for artistic expression that speak to the heart of our identity,” said Kaye C. Tinga, CCP President.
The partnership underscores Globe’s long-term strategy to enrich learning experiences through technology and foster a thriving creative community among the Filipino youth.
