The Way Forward: The Philippine Blue Economy

In the premiere episode of The Way Forward: The Philippine Blue Economy, Atty. Karen Jimeno sits down with distinguished thought leaders including the FVR Legacy Initiative Chairman Roberto de Ocampo, Prof. Ben Malayang III, Ferdinand Inacay, and Dr. Cielito Habito to explore the vast potential of the Philippine Blue Economy. From highlighting the country’s 2.2 million square kilometers of Exclusive Economic Zone to discussing sustainable maritime transport and tourism, the episode underscores the need for an integrated national roadmap that balances economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social inclusion. The episode calls on both government and local communities to work hand-in-hand to unlock the full promise of the Philippines as a Maritime and Archipelagic Nation—our MANA.
