Manila, Philippines — May 2026 — The Digital Marketing Association of the Philippines (DMAP) recently launched the pilot episode of The Next Monday Forum, an intimate, high-level gathering designed to bring together executives, senior leaders and industry decision-makers for strategic conversations on emerging trends and pressing business realities.
Held last April 27, 2026 at Astoria Plaza, the inaugural session focused on “The Business of Geopolitics: What Global Conflict Means for Brands and Growth in the Philippines.”
The forum featured Professor Victor Andres “Dindo” Manhit, founder of The Stratbase Group and Stratbase Institute for Strategic and International Studies, who shared insights on how geopolitical developments impact the Philippine business environment, from supply chains and costs to consumer sentiment and long-term growth strategies. The session included a keynote and Q&A portion, encouraging candid conversations and knowledge-sharing among attendees.
DMAP extends its thanks to Astoria Hotels and Resorts for supporting the pilot run of the forum.
As DMAP continues to strengthen conversations around digital transformation and business leadership, The Next Monday Forum is set to become a platform for forward-looking discussions that help organizations navigate an increasingly complex landscape.
