According to Fortune Business Insights, the global tabletop games market is valued at approximately $18.4-$21.5 billion in 2025-2026. It is expected to reach over $30 billion by 2030 driven by the rise of hobby gaming, crowdfunding, and board game cafes. However, much of the market share is dominated by the west. ABGF was created as a movement to give attention to Asian games and to develop the regional industry.

ISKOLARIS 2025 - Where Christmas Spirit Meet Collective Struggle

2025-12-19T14:00:00.000+08:00

ISKOLARIS 2025 blends tradition and activism as the PUP community comes together to challenge corruption and tyranny.

In the glow of parols and the echo of applause, ISKOLARIS 2025 reminds every Iskolar ng Bayan that your light is part of the nation’s future. As the campus prepares for this year-end celebration, students, faculty, and organizers come together not only to share joy and tradition but to strengthen the collective resolve of the Iskolar ng Bayan.

ISKOLARIS 2025 goes beyond holiday cheer. It highlights the stories of students who volunteer, persevere, and lead while continuing to fight for accessible and inclusive education. Their experiences reflect the realities faced by many Filipino communities and keep the celebration rooted in solidarity, purpose, and reflection. From the long history of labor movements seen every Mayo Uno, to the annual September 21 Martial Law commemoration that honors the courage of those who resisted dictatorship, the Iskolar ng Bayan has always stood on the side of justice. More recently, the nationwide walkout on October 10 and the mobilizations for International Students’ Day on November 17 reaffirmed the refusal of students to accept corruption, repression, and the chronic underfunding of public education.
