PIDS kicked off the 22nd DPRM on September 5, 2024, at Novotel Manila, Cubao, Quezon City. This year’s theme, “Securing a Future for All by Growing a Resilient Middle Class,” is grounded on the Philippines’ AmBisyon Natin 2040, which envisions “a prosperous middle-class society where no one is poor." It emphasizes the middle class’ quality of life and their role in promoting the country’s development.
The forum featured insights from the DPRM 2024 Scientific Committee members—Dr. Jose Ramon Albert, Dr. Roehlano Briones, and Dr. John Paolo Rivera—and a panel of experts from the National Economic and Development Authority, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Philippines Office, and Asia Society Philippines.
