The Philippine Business and Disability Network (PBDN), which is a for-and-by business platform that provides barrier-free workplaces for Persons with Disability, will be holding their second annual conference this July 19, 2023 at SMX Convention Center Aura entitled Working Beyond Barriers.
As a non profit organization, PBDN strives towards equal opportunities for persons with disability by actively implementing initiatives that center on learning, collaboration, and support for disability inclusion advocates from the private sector to enable persons with disability’s full participation, growth, and success within the workforce.
Core activities of PBDN include connecting persons with disability to hiring opportunities, capacitating companies through various training and learning sessions, and collaborating with companies through further contributing to disability research and literature.
A few notable PBDN partner members include JP Morgan Chase & Co., IBM, Paypal, PLDT-Smart, Nestle, Coca-Cola Beverages and Co. to name a few.
A participant from last year shared her thoughts on last year’s conference, saying it was “Overflowing with insights” “Specific solutions were provided, and best practices were shared. This allowed companies just starting on their DEI journey to gain more understanding and perspective on the topic.”
Another partner appreciated that “The conference allowed attendees to learn about different disability inclusion topics” and said that the breakout sessions gave them the opportunity to personally listen and raise questions to the speakers, allowing for better engagement.
To raise awareness for workplace inclusion, the PBDN conference will feature local and international speakers who also support the same vision. Some of the speakers last year include John Nicholls from PayPal, Jen Legasca of Asurion; members of the Person with Disability community like Krissy Bisda, Ernie Heredero; and international speakers like Susan Scott-Parker from ILO-GBDN.
The PBDN conference will feature esteemed local and international speakers from various backgrounds and industries who will be sharing their thoughts, insights, and expertise on disability inclusion within the workplace.
Citing the importance to educate and train companies on workplace inclusion, Grant Javier, Executive Director of PBDN shares, “We aim for attendees to gain more knowledge and insight on the concepts and topics on the realm of disability inclusion, such as the context, issues, and opportunities of disability inclusion in the workplace”,
Over 300 partner participants are expected to attend from partner organizations and the PWD sector. This event is also sponsored by Catch21, Austrian Embassy Manila, Paypal, Coca-Cola Beverages Inc., B&M Global Services Manila, Northern Trust, Reed Elsevier, Visa, ADB, TaskUs, and media sponsors Negosentro, Business World and CNN Philippines.

With the CCP Main Building undergoing rehabilitation, the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Cinemalaya Foundation, Inc. push the boundaries and bring its brand of cinematic experience to the Philippine International Convention Center, located inside the CCP Complex, on August 4 to 13, 2023.
“We hope to retain the unique community spirit of the festival, which was one of the main considerations when we were deciding on the venue. If we look at the history of the convention center, PICC is quite conducive for film screenings, having hosted the Manila International Film Festival in the 1980s,” said CCP president Margie Moran-Floirendo.
For its 10-day run, the Cinemalaya films will be screened at three meeting rooms, Cinema Rizal (Meeting Room 1), Cinema Bonifacio (Meeting Room 2 and 3), and Cinema Felipe (Meeting Room 4). Fringe events and talkbacks will be held at Cinema Palma (Meeting Room 5). The exhibitions and filmmakers’ profiles will be on display at the Executive Lounge.
Following the theme “ilumiNasyon,” the country’s pioneering independent film festival returns with 10 full-lengths and 10 short films in competition, as well as other components that will secure a space for independent filmmakers to tell their stories and share their perspectives on the issues that shape our times, while capturing the audience’s imagination.
Short films in competition include: ANG KINING BINALAYBAY KAG AMBAHANON KO PARA SA IMO (THESE RHYMES AND RHYTHMS MEANT FOR YOU) By Kent John D. Desamparado; GOLDEN BELLS By Kurt Soberano; HINAKDAL (CONDEMNED) By Arvin Belarmino; HM HM MHM By Sam Villa-Real And Kim Timan; KOKURYO: THE UNTOLD STORY OF BB. UNDAS 2019 By Diokko Manuel Dionisio; MAKOKO SA BAYBAY (I AM GOING TO THE BEACH) By Mike Cabarles; MAUDI NGA ARAPAAP (LAST DREAM) By Daniel Magayon; SIBUYAS NI PERFECTO (PERFECTO’S ONION) By Januar Yap; SOTA (HORSE CARETAKER) by Mae Tanagon; and TONG ADLAW NGA NAG-SNOW SA PINAS (THE DAY IT SNOWED IN THE PHILIPPINES) by Joshua Caesar Medroso.
Film enthusiasts and festival fans will continue to enjoy the festival’s mainstays: Retrospective, lookback to winning films of past Cinemalaya editions; Best of the Festivals, which showcases the best films from local festivals; Visions of Asia, featuring award-winning Asian and Netpac films; Premieres, featuring never-before-screen films; and Dokyu, which screens award-winning documentaries.
The Gawad CCP Para sa Alternatibong Pelikula at Video, considered the longest-running independent film competition of its kind in the ASEAN region, will once again harvest the best of the best, with films competing in various categories such as Short Feature/Narrative, Experimental, Documentary and Animation. Pre-selected entries will be screened on August 5 to 7, at the CCP Tanghalang Ignacio B. Gimenez (CCP Blackbox Theater). Awarding will be on August 12.
The Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival has pushed the boundaries for creative expression in the last 19 years by avidly propping up artistic integrity and illuminating the Filipino filmamakers’ visions of nationhood.
Since 2005, Cinemalaya has continued to discover, encourage and support the cinematic works of upcoming and veteran Filipino filmmakers who boldly articulate and freely interpret the Philippine experience with fresh insight and artistic integrity.
To date, Cinemalaya has supported and promoted the production of Filipino full feature independent films and short films.

From the cinematic genius behind the Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception comes an ambitious new project that is set to captivate audiences worldwide. Universal Pictures recently shared a collection of striking images from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, “Oppenheimer”, which is due to hit cinemas across the Philippines on July 19th. The captivating snapshots offer an intriguing glimpse into a narrative and characters that are poised to change the world as we know it.
“Oppenheimer” brings together a lineup of acting powerhouses, promising a film that is as star-studded as it is promising. The film boasts an ensemble cast that reads like a Hollywood roll call – Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., and Josh Hartnett. The newly released photos from Universal Pictures promise a visual spectacle that’s bound to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
Oscar®-nominated writer-director Christopher Nolan brings to screen “Oppenheimer”, his most ambitious and urgent movie yet, a sweeping, epic thriller that delves deep into the psyche of a singular American mind: the brilliant scientist behind the world-shattering invention of the atomic bomb that represented the total sum of human ingenuity, an invention that would remake civilization, even as its very existence threatened the future of mankind.
Cillian Murphy stars as J Robert Oppenheimer
Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer – The Man Behind the Bomb
Audiences have witnessed the depth of Murphy’s talent in roles across “28 Days Later”, “A Quiet Place II”, “Peaky Blinders”, and previous Nolan ventures including “The Dark Knight Trilogy”, “Inception”, and “Dunkirk”. In “Oppenheimer”, he takes on the formidable task of portraying the physicist known as the Father of the Atomic Bomb. In Murphy’s own words, the challenge lies in embodying Oppenheimer’s immense intellect and moral quandaries, a pursuit of complexity befitting the multi-faceted man himself.
Emily Blunt as Kitty Oppenheimer
Emily Blunt as Kitty Oppenheimer – The Nonconformist
Known for her impressive turns in breakout role and scene-stealing performances in “Devil Wears Prada” and A Quiet Place (I and II), Emily Blunt embodies the role of Kitty Oppenheimer, a biologist, botanist, and J. Robert’s wife. Blunt found herself drawn to Kitty’s defiance against societal norms and her unwillingness to conform to traditional gender expectations, finding it refreshingly modern and relatable. “Kitty is a character who doesn’t do small talk; she only does big talk,” Blunt says. “She’s complicated, volatile, bewitching all at once. What I really was drawn to with her is that idea of a woman who refused to conform to the sort of feminine ideal of the time, why you need to get married and have children and support your man and that’s your job and that’s all you’re allowed. She just had this defiance against the system that felt so modern.”
Matt Damon as Leslie Groves Jr.
Matt Damon as Leslie Groves Jr. – Witness to History
To play the brigadier general, the filmmakers recruited Matt Damon, who earlier this year added to a gilded resume of Oscar® nominated performances (and an Academy Award® for co-writing Good Will Hunting) with an acclaimed performance in Air. Groves, who played a crucial role in the creation of the atomic bomb, represents an origin story for a world shaped by the aftermath of the Manhattan Project, a narrative thread Damon found deeply compelling. “I’m a child of the Cold War,” Damon says. “I grew up with the consequences of this piece of history. So, without a doubt, this is one of the most important stories of our time.”
Robert Downey, Jr. as Lewis Strauss
Robert Downey, Jr. as Lewis Strauss – Nuclear Policy Architect
Lewis Strauss was a founding commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission in 1947, playing a key role in shaping America’s post-war nuclear policy. The Oppenheimer opportunity arrived in Downey Jr.’s life at a moment when he was trying to be choosy following his blockbuster run playing the foremost avenger of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “I had been cooling my heels for about a year before the pandemic, just reacquainting myself with my family and other interests because I had been working super consistently,” says Downey Jr. “But this was Christopher Nolan, doing something that was important to him. The cast was this large gathering of folks who have their choice of projects. And just as soon as we were under way, world events lined up in a way that turned this movie into an important metaphor that could speak to any number of things. So, it was kind of a no- brainer.”
Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock
Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock – The Free Spirit
An intellectual, deep-feeling introvert, sensual, free-spirited, yet prone to bouts of melancholy, Jean Tatlock was a Stanford-educated psychiatrist who had an intense yet tortured romance with J. Robert Oppenheimer. To play Tatlock, the filmmakers cast Florence Pugh, whose performances in Black Widow, Midsommar and Little Women, which earned her an Oscar® nomination, have made her one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars. She took the part for the chance to work with a director she admired. “It’s a Christopher Nolan movie, number one,” says Pugh, “and number two, he has one of the most incredible leads. Cillian Murphy is an actor that I have been watching for quite some time and have been desperate to work with for ages. You’d have to be mad to say no. It felt like I was playing sports with some of the best athletes, so it was truly one of the best experiences that I’ve had.”
Josh Hartnett as Ernest Lawrence
Josh Hartnett as Ernest Lawrence – The Unsung Hero
To play the physicist Lawrence, Nolan chose Josh Hartnett, no stranger to big films that tackle the morality of war and military heroics, having played an Army pilot in Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor and an Army ranger in Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down. Returning to movies after taking time off to focus on raising kids, Hartnett re-engages the genre that made him a star through a different kind of character. “I knew a bit about Oppenheimer, but not Lawrence and how he was instrumental in creating nuclear weapons and what is now our 21st century dilemma,” Hartnett says. “He’s the most important and impressive historical figure from the 20th Century that I knew nothing about. He developed the cyclotron, developed the concept of big science, he basically gave birth to what is now the super-collider. Everything has changed because of this guy and his tinkering.”
Also starring Oscar® winner Casey Affleck as Boris Pash, chief of Army counter-intelligence at the Presidio in San Francisco, Oscar® winner Rami Malek plays David Hill, an associate experimental physicist, Matthew Modine as Vannevar Bush, head of the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development, Oscar® nominee Tom Conti as Albert Einstein and Oscar® winning filmmaker and actor Kenneth Branagh plays Nobel Prize winning physicist Niels Bohr.
Nolan employs a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography for the movie, incorporating IMAX® black and white analogue photography for the first time ever, making “Oppenheimer” a cinematic event to look forward to.
