The inclusion of Philippine designs into the G Mark award system is the result of mutual recognition established between the Good Design Award Philippines and G Mark Japan as part of the Design Center’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) and the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP).
The MOU supports the Design Center’s mandate of developing the Philippine design industry and creative economy through cooperation and collaboration in the promotion of design exchange opportunities between the Philippines and Japan.
