Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte has paved the way for the creation of a movie screening commission to boost local film industry with the active participation of the barangays.
Belmonte approved an ordinance establishing the Quezon City Screen Commission, seen as a major milestone in the city’s efforts to solidify its status as the “Film and Entertainment Capital of the Philippines.”
“Through the Quezon City Screen Commission, we are institutionalizing our vision of a city that champions local filmmakers, artists, and creative professionals while reinforcing our standing as the Film and Entertainment Capital of the Philippines,” she said.
“We are not just supporting productions within our borders — we are building a home for Filipino storytelling, where creativity thrives, where the industry grows sustainably, and where Quezon City remains the destination of choice for world-class content creation,” she added.
