Abstract
The future of the creative industries shows much promise in the Philippines. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the creative industries more than doubled its size from 2003 to 2012 (UNCTAD, 2016). Thus, its development is now carefully monitored, and programs are being created by different government agencies, with the goal of making the Philippines competitive in the creative field versus other countries in the region.
Despite the continuous growth of the sector, the expected increase in financial outcomes is quite low as the creative industries in the Philippines and Southeast Asia do not seem to be maximizing their growth potential due to the absence of structures and policies for business development, piracy, and the general lack of entrepreneurial spirit (Fleming, 2017). Thus, the role of education has become important in the development of those involved in the culture cycle of creation, production, dissemination, transmission, and the consumption/participation of cultural and artistic products and services (Sigdel, 2017).
