Taking the next step towards achieving brighter futures for the Philippines, the Development Academy of the Philippines–Graduate School of Public and Development Management (DAP-GSPDM) spearheaded the HINABI 2025 to further strengthen research and foster knowledge co-creation.
HINABI 2025: An Ensemble for Weaving Sustainable Futures, is a flagship gathering of DAP-GSPDM, held through the Knowledge Innovation (KI) HubLab, that serves as a dynamic platform for forward-looking, value-adding research and collaboration.
Inspired by the Filipino concept of “Hinabi,” which means “to weave” or “weaving,” the event symbolizes the interlacing of diverse perspectives, expertise and experiences within the GSPDM community. Reflecting the values of bayanihan (collective unity), pakikipagkapwa (shared humanity) and damayan (mutual support), HINABI 2025 underscores that sustainable futures are built through collective effort, the statement added.
