BPI strengthens commitment to financial inclusion at the Pasinaya Open House Festival

Organized by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the Pasinaya Open House Festival is the country’s largest multi-arts festival. Spanning six locations nationwide—including Metro Manila, Pampanga, Batangas, Sorsogon, Iloilo, Tagum, and Himamaylan—the festival served as a vibrant kickoff to this year’s National Arts Month celebration. Around 60,000 attendees took part in the festival.

With a mission to foster art appreciation, collaboration, and cultural education, Pasinaya champions inclusivity and accessibility by offering a diverse range of artistic experiences, including performances, hands-on workshops, and thoughtfully curated exhibits that highlight creativity of Filipino artists.
