Agencies such as the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the ASEAN Society, and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), and Department of Foreign Affairs-Philippine Mission to ASEAN would spearhead the staging of a public symposium on ASEAN Socio-cultural Community (ASCC) and nation building.
The symposium will bring the analyses and perspectives of eminent academics and government officials in the region on building ASCC and nation building.
The public forum aims to have enhanced understanding of the ASCC and its interaction with national policies and development in the member countries; to generate insights and recommendations on moving ASCC into 2025 and beyond; and to have better understanding and appreciation of, greater emotional attachment to, and deeper engagement with ASEAN and the region, along with Japan’s commitment over the years together with ASEAN.
Second district Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, president from 2001 to 2010, is expected to deliver a keynote message.
