The Philippine gaming industry is very underrated they don’t get that much flock like in our filmmaking, music, and other industries. This saddens me because we have a lot of talented people who’s skills should be at least recognized.
So I prepared a list of a few locally made games that I think are interesting.

These are a few games that I think are great for opening the gateway to our local gaming industry. I do hope that we get to see more games from local developers to help our scene flourish whether it’s Music, Gaming, or Filmmaking. Before I end this article I would like to say that we should always Support our locally home-grown artists and our friends.
