QUEZON CITY—Filipino women entrepreneurs who lead cultural micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are urging the government and support institutions to develop stronger, gender-responsive policies to address persistent challenges such as limited financing, uneven digital access, and unequal inclusion in business networks.
The call anchored the launch of a three-part “Policy Leadership Workshop Series” in Quezon City, which brought together 25 women cultural entrepreneurs from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The series aims to strengthen the capacity of policymakers and support institutions in crafting inclusive programs for cultural MSMEs. It is organized by the Philippine APEC Study Center Network (PASCN) of the òòò½´«Ã½ (òòò½´«Ã½) and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) through the APEC–Canada Growing Business Partnership, with funding from the Government of Canada.
