The Philippines takes center stage at Expo 2025 Osaka with the unveiling of its pavilion, a striking tribute to the nation’s rich cultural heritage and creative spirit.

Carrying the theme "Nature, Culture, and Community: Woven Together for a Better Future," the Philippine Pavilion features over 200 intricately woven panels crafted by local artisans from across the country, symbolizing the interconnectedness of tradition and innovation.

Blending Filipino artistry with a nod to Japanese culture, the pavilion’s anime-inspired façade draws inspiration from film and animation. Inside, visitors are welcomed by “Dancing with Nature,” an interactive installation powered by artificial intelligence that offers a dynamic exploration of the country’s natural beauty.
