The Philippines’ frontier to space advances at a remarkable pace as the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) intensifies its campaign to build a strong, robust, and vibrant domestic space ecosystem. Once seen as a distant dream just six years ago, this vision has grown into a national movement that rallies both local talent and Filipinos abroad.
Read how NASA, PhilSA, and UP women scientists are urging the use of satellite data to better serve communities.
The 2025 Philippine Space Week, held from August 8 to 14, showcased the nation’s collective momentum through forums, exhibits, and youth-led activities that highlighted breakthrough initiatives in satellite development, space data applications, and research for climate resilience. It was not only a celebration of milestones but also a platform where the brightest young minds presented how space technology can strengthen food security, environmental protection, and disaster preparedness in the Philippines.
