On August 5, the “China-Philippines Gen Z Vision” Short Video Competition, jointly organized by China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd (Energy China) and the Association for Philippines-China Understanding (APCU), officially launched.

This competition is supported by Global Times Online (media partner) and university partners, including the Confucius Institute at Angeles University Foundation, the Confucius Institute at the University of the Philippines Diliman, the Confucius Institute at Ateneo de Davao University, and the Confucius Institute at the Ateneo De Manila University.

The competition focuses on three themes: “Green Energy,” “Harmonious Ecology,” and “China-Philippine Exchanges.” It aims to encourage Generation Z in China and the Philippines to share their understanding of green living and their perspectives on the future of Sino-Philippine friendship. The goal is to inject youthful energy into the exchanges and mutual understanding between the two civilizations.

University students, employees of Chinese and Philippine enterprises, and all young participants and witnesses of the China-Philippines friendship are invited to submit their videos online. The videos should capture the convergence of civilizations and tell stories about a green future.

Participants should send their works to the designated email (videosubmission@huanqiu.com) before September 30 and post the works on any overseas social media platforms (Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok) with the event hashtag #ChinaPhilippinesGenZVision.
