THE SENATE trade committee will conduct a hearing on a measure seeking to develop the creative industries and draft a charter for practitioners.
The committee’s chairman, Senator Aquilino L. Pimentel III, said “many details need to be ironed out,” particularly how to carve out a “new industry” out of “already existing economic activities,” he told
BusinessWorld in a phone message Friday.
“My commitment is best effort to come up with a recognized ‘creatives industry’ after hearing the stakeholders,” via hearings at the Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship committee.
Mr. Pimentel said the committee will “try its best” to raise the bill to the plenary before the Senate adjourns its second regular session on June 4.
