Philippine Economic Society (PES)
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Philippine Economic Society (PES) successfully launched the first-ever BSP–PES Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) on 28 July 2026 at the BSP Assembly Hall in Malate, Manila. The inaugural forum, themed “Labor Market and Inflation,” marked the beginning of a nationwide series of knowledge-sharing events aimed at bridging research and practice while inspiring the next generation of Filipino economists.
The event was marked by a keynote address of BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. A total of 111 participants attended the event onsite, including faculty members and students from science senior high schools and leading universities across the country. The audience included 43 participants from 15 science senior high schools representing Muntinlupa, Caloocan, Mandaluyong, Makati, Malabon, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela, Las Piñas, and the Philippine Science High School. Meanwhile, 60 participants from eight universities joined the forum, including representatives from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, University of Santo Tomas, University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, University of Asia and the Pacific, and the Asian Institute of Management. The event also welcomed a special delegation of eight members of the Philippine team to the International Mathematical Olympiad. The forum reached thousands more by online through BSP’s official Facebook livestream.
Following the success of the inaugural forum, the BSP and PES will continue the nationwide Knowledge Sharing Events Series with upcoming sessions on “Household Surveys and Impact Evaluation” in Davao on 15 September 2026, Cebu on 20 October 2026, and Baguio on 24 November 2026.
