STATE OF THE MULTIMEDIA INDUSTRY OF THE PHILIPPINES

We can say that the "Multimedia Industry" of the Philippines is "going sky high". Many of us Filipinos have a computer at our home and at our school. Almost every student in our country knows how to use computer, except for those students who can't afford Personal computers or PC. Many Filipinos uses different kinds of multimedia, specially the Multimedia artists. There are many type of multimedia that are being used today, such as "Text, Audio, Animation, Video, still images, Interactivity".

Newspaper

The newspaper industry of the Philippines is very important to its people, because many people who can't afford electronic devices such as computer, cellphone, e-reader, and many more. are using The newspaper, which is more affordable than the electronic devices. The Printing Industry of the Philippines is growing 7%  annually, and its pretty decent for some industry who is aiming global competitiveness. but our economy is experiencing another downturn, so the Printing industry of the Philippines is in a standstill.

As you can see the image above, The destribution of the Printing establishment in the country is quite many, Many of the Publishing and Printing establishment is in the NCR region. because its the capital region of our country. We can say that it is many, but many of the number in that image is just a small printing establishment who operates only one or two printing machines.

Radio

On May 8 1933 the US government established and operated radio station DZFM in the Philippines on the frequency of  710 kilocycles with the power of 10,000 watts through the United States Information service. well that is the history and starting point of the radio broadcasting on the Philippines.  Radio is still the most popular source of news and entertainment in the Philippines, despite the rising usage of the Internet and the Television. Many of the radio company is owned by a bigger company like the "ABS-CBN and GMA network". Many of the radio broadcasting station is privately owned or made for commercials.


Animation / Television

I can say that the animation industry of the Philippines is filled with very talented Filipinos that can make animation that can "WoW" the world. Many talented Filipino animators work in different countries to showcase their talent in animation. Many animators contributed in the development of many loved animated series and cartoons such as:
Scooby-Doo

Tom and Jerry
Dragon Ball Z
Addams Family
The Jetsons
The Mask
The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
Captain Planet

It is all under entertainment giants like "Walt Disney", "Warner Bros.", "Hanna Barbera", "Cartoon Network", "Japanese Anime", "HBO", and  "Marvel Comics".
Animation industry in the Philippines is still blooming, because young animators are still studying, while the Professional animators go abroad to work in a bigger company.

All I can say is that the Multimedia Industry of the Philippines is going up, because our technology is advancing, More and more Filipinos is using Multimedia. Almost everyone in the country knows how to use computer. Many big companies in the Philippines are using Multimedia as a source of income, and as a source of entertaining people.
