Hepmil Philippines, a technology-driven media company, called for significant advancements in technology adoption and professional training within the Philippine content creation industry.
Erwin Razon, Hepmil Philippines general manager, highlighted the need for better access to advanced technology and comprehensive training programs.
“There is a huge gap in getting to the latest technology and adequate training, and it greatly impacts the quality and competitiveness of our local content,” he said.
Razon also noted the economic and legal hurdles faced by content creators, including securing sustainable income and protecting their work from piracy.
“Government policies that promote investments in the creative industry and protect intellectual property rights can help the industry grow even more,” he said.

Hepmil Philippines invested in a state-of-the-art production hub featuring studios, workstations, lounges, and a wardrobe department.
The hub will also integrate livestreaming capabilities to meet the demand for virtual production services. This also addresses the growing demand for virtual production services.
