Manifesting universal healthcare

Our second ever Manila Bulletin Sustainability Focus Session happens this week, on April 30, at the University of Santo Tomas. If you recall, we began the Manila Bulletin Sustainability Forum back in 2022, have had three successful iterations since then; and thought to extend the "brand" via these Focus Sessions.

The Forum will always be the showcase gathering of like-minded companies, of LGU’s and Government entities, talking Sustainability across a diverse range of interests and industries. As its name would suggest, the Focus Session would take on a particular theme, and look for resource speakers within those thematic parameters, and find the suitable, filtered audience.

One important and unique component of both the Forums and Focus Sessions is the audience. We establish partnerships with academic institutions, and they provide the audiences for these activities. We’ve partnered with the University of the Philippines twice, and this upcoming Focus Session is our second engagement with the University of Santo Tomas. Talks are already underway to expand these academic partnerships for later in the year, with new “players.”

The reason for this specific audience is very clear, as an integral part of our mission vision at the Manila Bulletin is to inform, inspire and empower. And when it comes to Sustainability-driven initiatives, it’s the youth above all who we seek to build awareness with, and to motivate. And the simplest reason for this is that it’s really their future we're talking about.
