Day: August 19, 2025

The Philippine government, through the Department of Transportation (DOTr), in partnership with Infrastructure Asia and the Asian Development Bank, held a Philippine Infrastructure Market Sounding event in Singapore on 18 August 2025 to engage international investors, operators, and financiers on two of the country’s most transformative transport projects – the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) and the Metro Manila Subway (MMS).

Over 8,000 Filipinos living and working in Singapore gathered at Suntec Convention Centre on 17 August 2025, for the Fiesta ng Pamilyang Pilipino 2025. The day-long festival, filled with music, performances, food, games, and community activities, was a vibrant celebration of Filipino talent, culture, and bayanihan spirit.

What started last year as the much-awaited return of the Fiesta at the Bayanihan Centre grew this year into a bigger celebration at Suntec and brought together thousands of Filipinos under one roof. Organized by the Filipino community in Singapore, the event carried the theme “Fiesta ng Pamilyang Pilipino”, this time highlighting the sense of family that binds Filipinos together in Singapore.
