Since its launch, nearly 100 outstanding works across various categories including painting, calligraphy, video, singing and dancing, essay, and photography have been showcased at the China-Philippines Youth Cultural and Art Exhibition.

The submissions reflect the versatility and vigor of the youth from colleges and universities in China and the Philippines.

Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian in particular praised the painting "The Bright Moon Comes Out of Taihang" and the video entry "My Incomprehensible Relationship with Chinese."

"May the young people of the two countries know each other, meet, integrate, and lead the sustainable development for the friendly cooperation between China and the Philippines by drawing a blueprint of cooperation until the end, jointly creating a brighter and shared future," Ambassador Huang Xialian said in a statement.
