University President Galas said artistic expressions are not merely cultural artifacts but are significant economic drivers that demand the attention of HEIs, adding that PSU has long been making waves in the field of creative industries, with its award-winning Matalunggaring Dance Troupe and other cultural groups of students.
CHED Chairperson Shirley Agrupis said the Philippine Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) serve as vital crucibles for nurturing the performing arts as foundational pillars of the Philippine creative economy.
The summit adopts a word from the host regionโs language. For this year, the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), which is one of the organizers, picked “parnuay,” an Ilocano word that means creating, inventing or bringing something into existence.
The three-day event, labelled locally as โIyanninawโ (Reflect)), โPanangparayray’ (Enhance/Grow) and โAglayagโ (Move/Sail) featured plenary talks from Education Secretary Sonny Angara who emphasized that creativity should be introduced early and embedded in the curriculum, while TESDA Director General Kiko Benitez highlighted the importance of close educationโindustry collaboration to develop practical, creative and job-ready skills.
A national rondalla-inspired celebration through “Ritmo ti Namnama: Himig ng Bagong Pilipinas,” which is a musical performance to further promote Philippine music, culture and arts among the youth was also held.
