ARANGKADA PHILIPPINES
The Arangkada Philippines Forum 2026 will take place on October 9, 2026, at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City. Driven by the theme “FAST: Forging ahead a sustainable tomorrow,” this year's forum underscores the urgent need to move beyond incremental progress and rapidly accelerate economic transformation.
In its 15th installment, the forum will introduce a refreshed panel discussion model designed to encourage more focused, solutions-oriented dialogue. Panels will be structured to integrate perspectives across policy, industry, and implementation, featuring designated keynote inputs from both legislators and heads of executive agencies to frame each discussion and sharpen the policy direction for stakeholders. This approach is also aimed at providing the government with an avenue to present its vision and ongoing efforts to improve the country’s economy.
