BEYOND ILLUMINATION

Recently, Signify—formerly known as Philips Lighting—brought together visionary designers, architects, and industry professionals at the "Light and Beyond" event held at the Ascott Hotel in Makati. The gathering explored the extraordinary potential of light "beyond illumination."

"This is the core of our mission," emphasizes Raghuraman Chandrasekhar, country leader for professional business at Signify Philippines. "Every aspect of what we do is driven by a dedication to sustainable innovation."

This journey involves close collaboration with specifiers and architects—crucial partners who act as catalysts in bringing trusted, innovative lighting solutions to end users. "They are not just collaborators; they are co-creators shaping the future," adds Chandrasekhar.

Joining him were lighting application manager Anna Asuncion, product marketing manager B2B Icy Minano, specification sales manager Risa Chavarria, and head of specification sales Vijay Venkatsubramanian. Together, they showcased Signify's groundbreaking new products.
