Marcos to Indian businesses: PH investment environment most open, liberal
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and members of his economic team meet with Indian business leaders at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi, India, on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Noel B. Pabalate/ PPA Pool) President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Wednesday wooed Indian business leaders to invest in the Philippines, saying that the country is committed to support current and prospective Indian investors. At a roundtable meeting in New Delhi, Marcos said the Philippines' ''investment environment is the most open and liberal that it has ever been.'' ''Our discussions today have demonstrated the strength of our strategic partnership, especially in trade and investment. They certainly show how far we have come and how much more we can achieve if we continue to work together in a spirit of cooperation and shared prosperity,'' Marcos said. ''The Philippines and India are natural economic partners. We are two of Asia's fastest-growing economies. We are powered by a youthful, skilled population. Moreover, we are both committed to building resilient, innovation-driven economies that deliver opportunities for our peoples,'' he added. Marcos said he directed the Department of Trade and Industry to work closely with their Indian counterparts to convene the joint working group on trade and investment at the earliest opportunity. ''And we have just again with the discussion we were having, is to decide, is that we will, not only are we going to organize a joint working group on trade and investment, but we will also probably granulate that down to industry specific working groups so that they you are—you're talking apples to apples, oranges to oranges,'' he said. ''And of course, the government will be there to take notes and to understand what is needed by both sides to make all of these things happen,'' Marcos added. He also tasked the DTI to lead Philippine efforts towards a Philippine-India Preferential Trade Agreement, which will lay a strong foundation for deeper, more predictable and mutually beneficial economic integration. — BM, GMA Integrated News

Philippines President Marcos First State Visit to India Aims to Boost Defence, Trade Ties
President Marcos will land at Air Force Station Palam in the afternoon, accompanied by First Lady Louise Araneta Marcos and a high-level delegation comprising Cabinet Ministers, senior officials, and business leaders. His visit coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, adding symbolic significance to the engagements planned over the coming days. The visit is expected to culminate in deeper strategic and defence cooperation, especially in the maritime domain. The Philippines, notably, became the first foreign country to procure India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system. The first consignment of BrahMos missiles was delivered to the Philippines on April 19, 2024. An agreement to enhance defence collaboration, particularly focusing on maritime security, is anticipated during the visit. President Marcos is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 5. He will also meet President Droupadi Murmu and will be called on by External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, with their meeting scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Monday at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi. The Philippine President is also expected to visit Bengaluru before departing India on August 8. India's Ministry of External Affairs emphasised that the Philippines is a key partner in India's Act East Policy, Vision MAHASAGAR, and Indo-Pacific strategy. The relationship is anchored not only in strategic interests but also in deep historical and cultural ties. The Tagalog language contains numerous words of Sanskrit origin, and archaeological findings like the Laguna Copperplate inscription and the Agusan Tara statue testify to centuries-old connections. Diplomatic ties between India and the Philippines were formally established in November 1949. With the launch of India's Look East Policy in 1992, and its subsequent transformation into the Act East Policy, bilateral relations have grown substantially, particularly through ASEAN cooperation. President Marcos and PM Modi last met briefly on the sidelines of the 21st ASEAN-India Summit and the 19th East Asia Summit in Lao PDR in October 2024, and earlier in Jakarta during the 20th ASEAN-India Summit in 2023.

Shekhar Kapur shares rare moment of A.R. Rahman and Andrew Lloyd Webber creating music together
Picture Credit: X Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur took to social media to share a rare and cherished memory of A.R. Rahman and Andrew Lloyd Webber creating magical music together on the same piano - a moment that blended two worlds of musical genius. Taking to Instagram, Shekhar Kapur shared a rare, unseen throwback photo featuring himself with Rahman and Webber during the world announcement of Bombay Dreams-the first-ever Bollywood musical to make it to London's West End and later Broadway in New York. Reflecting on the journey, Kapur called his life "one huge adventure," urging everyone to embrace uncertainty and spontaneity. In a thought-provoking caption, he wrote, "Life has been one huge adventure. But how does adventure happen unless you actively open yourself to the adventure of life? And to open yourself to adventure, you have to fight the greatest human failing of all. The addiction to certainty. The addiction to control." Shekhar Kapur went on to reveal how "Bombay Dreams" was born from a casual lunchtime conversation with Andrew Lloyd Webber. That chance remark soon evolved into a groundbreaking musical collaboration. The photo he shared was taken at a party held at Mumbai's iconic Taj Mahal Hotel, where Rahman and Webber sat together at the same piano, creating music on the spot-an unforgettable moment in East-meets-West creative synergy. "Bombay Dreams was born of one chance lunchtime remark by me to Andrew Lloyd Webber .. out of which this picture was taken at the world announcement of the project .. at a party in Mumbai's iconic Taj Mahal Hotel .. and where A R Rahman and Andrew Lloyd Webber played together on the same piano .. creating amazing music on the go ..One chance remark .. led to the first 'Bollywood' musical ever on the West End in London and in Broadway in New York . .One chance remark! #andrewlloydwebber #arrahmaan #BombayDreams #westend #London #musical," added the director. 'Bombay Dreams' is a vibrant stage musical inspired by Bollywood, featuring music by A.R. Rahman and lyrics by Don Black. The script was penned by Meera Syal and Thomas Meehan, with Andrew Lloyd Webber backing the original production. It premiered in London in 2002, enjoying a successful two-year run before making its way to Broadway in 2004.

University Of Liverpool Becomes 2nd UGC-Approved UK University To Open Campus In India
Last Updated: University of Liverpool India Campus: The upcoming campus in Bengaluru will aim to offer world-class education aligned with both Indian and global standards. In a significant development for transnational education, the University of Liverpool today became the second UK university, after the University of Southampton, to officially receive a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a campus in India. The handover ceremony, held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, was presided over by Hon'ble Union Minister for Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan. Dr. Vineet Joshi, Interim Chair of the UGC and Secretary of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, was also present at the event. This milestone marks a major step toward strengthening academic collaboration, fostering research partnerships, and enhancing global educational exchange between India and the UK. The upcoming campus in Bengaluru will aim to offer world-class education aligned with both Indian and global standards. The University of Liverpool was originally established as University College, Liverpool in 1881. It officially began operations in 1882 with just 45 students, 6 chair positions, and 2 lectureships. The first college building, located on Ashton Street, remains central to the campus today. In 1884, the college joined the federal Victoria University, alongside institutions in Manchester and Leeds. Over the subsequent years, numerous buildings were constructed to accommodate large laboratories, funded by donations from local philanthropists. By the 1890s, eight additional chair positions were established, along with numerous lectureships and scholarships.
