The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) will lead a nationwide celebration of Philippine Space Week from August 8 to 14, 2026, under the theme ‘Navigating Tomorrow’.
According to PhilSA ad interim director general Dr. Gay Jane Perez, the celebration aims to promote public awareness of space science, technology and applications.
Besides these, Dr. Perez added, it will also highlight Filipino contributions to the space sector while showing how space-enabled innovations support national development.
She cited disaster resilience, environmental protection, agriculture, national security and sustainable development as the fields where these benefits are evident.
Philippine Space Week was established through Proclamation No. 302, series of 2023, as a means of commemorating the enactment of the Philippine Space Act on August 8, 2019.
This year’s theme reflects the Philippines’ growing presence in space through satellite development and the use of space data and services, which PhilSA described as part of the country’s journey toward becoming a more informed, resilient and future-ready nation.
PhilSA will also hold the Philippine Space Week Exhibit, the celebration’s flagship event, on August 9 and will open from in the morning until 9 in the evening at Quantum Skyview in Gateway Mall 2 of the Araneta City in Quezon City. The event is open to the public.
Visitors can explore interactive exhibits featuring PhilSA’s programs and missions alongside displays from government agencies, academic institutions, industry players, international partners and civil society groups.
Hands-on activities, demonstrations and learning stations will likewise be available to show how space science and technology improve daily life and contribute to national development.
PhilSA said further details on the week’s events will be posted on its social media accounts under the handle @philspaceagency. For media inquiries, please contact publicrelations@philsa.gov.ph / +639524522694
