Over 200 Changemakers Gather in Iloilo for Future Forward 2025: A Regional Push for SDG-Based Policy Reform

Over 200 changemakers from 60+ organizations across Western Visayas gathered for Future Forward 2025, a regional summit organized by PCCI Iloilo under its Impact Initiative Program and co-presented by the Iloilo Provincial Government and MORE Power. Held on June 24 at UP Visayas Iloilo City Campus, the summit focused on empowering communities, sustaining the environment, and strengthening partnerships. Participants were clustered into five SDG groups—People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnerships—to co-create policy proposals that PCCI Iloilo will formally lobby to institutions. With powerful keynotes and breakout collaboration, Future Forward 2025 marked a strong step toward region-driven, SDG-aligned change.
