Thank you for being the heart and soul of Manila FAME 2026.

True design, much like nature, finds its fullest expression when given room to bloom. Every piece showcased this year was a testament to the hands, minds, and spirits that nurtured our creative roots—and because of your belief, our stories have taken root and flourished further across the global stage.

This creative journey is extraordinary because we walk it together.

Even as the exhibition doors close, the beauty we’ve cultivated continues to grow. We look forward to the road ahead, where new stories await. Until we meet again to celebrate a historic milestone at the 75th edition of Manila FAME. 🇵🇭🌱✨

This October, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Month with the theme, “Empowering Indigenous Peoples: Strengthening Rights, Culture and Ancestral Domains.”

It is a time to honor the rich heritage, traditions, knowledge, and identity of Indigenous Peoples, while recognizing their rights and connection to their ancestral domains.

May this month inspire greater appreciation, respect, and support for Indigenous cultures and communities, and strengthen our shared commitment to preserving their heritage for generations to come.
