“I truly believe with all my heart that #TheFutureisCreative,” says Rep. Toff de Venecia of the 4th District of Pangasinan, who only once dreamt of holding a residency program in his hometown. “It’s time that we invest in creatives who harness and nurture the heart of the Philippines.”
On July 2022, the creative industries bill, which de Venecia principally authored and championed in the Lower House, finally lapsed into law. R.A. 11904 or the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act marks a very important step towards crafting a more sustainable creative future for the sector. Now with an institutionalized framework for development and support, programs such as Anakbanwa can continue to flourish and create myriad opportunities for people in the industry.
For its second wave, Anakbanwa has evolved into a creative residency program as it now seeks to establish partnerships with qualified stakeholders from the creative industries as defined in R.A. 11904. These are creatives who hail from either Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Design, Traditional Cultural Expressions, Audiovisual Media, Cultural Sites, Digital Interactive Media, Publishing and Printed Media, and Creative Services. Rep. de Venecia shares that this year’s Anakbanwa is a movement towards a creative industry wherein one can live sustainably by pursuing their passions.
