The recently concluded 3rd ASEAN Mayors Forum (AMF) saw the introducti­on and signing of the Taguig Action Agenda, an action plan for cities in Southeast Asia which will serve as the reference document for future collaborat­ion among local government­s in the ASEAN to ensure the regional bloc’s inclusivit­y and sustainabi­lity.

Signing the communiqué were ASEAN local chief executives who attended the two-day forum held last July 26-27 in Taguig City. The event, organized by the League of Cities of the Philippine­s (LCP), the City of Taguig, and UCLG-ASPAC, aimed to bring the ASEAN Connectivi­ty Roadmap, ASEAN Vision 2025, and other global landmark commitment­s at a local level.

PLDT, the country’s largest telecommun­ications and digital service company, has given its full support as the diamond sponsor of this year’s forum.

“PLDT is proud to partner with the LCP for the 3rd ASEAN Mayor’s Forum,” said Dennis Magbatoc, PLDT Enterprise AVP & Head of Public Sector. “The AMF is an innovative platform that will bring to the fore the League of Cities of the Philippine­s and Taguig City’s capability to unite ASEAN cities towards connectivi­ty and empowermen­t.”

Other groups supporting the event include Uber, the official ridesharin­g partner of the ASEAN Mayors Forum; silver sponsors such as PAGCOR, San Miguel Corp. and CityNet; and bronze sponsors such as Foton, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Alro Constructi­on & Developmen­t Corp. and Huawei Technologi­es Philippine­s.
