What happened
The Philippines revamped its International Co-Production Fund (ICOF) with two tracks: Majority and Minority. The Majority Track offers up to PHP13 million ($210,000) for features and series, requiring the Filipino side to own at least 20% of the project. The Minority Track, for international productions, offers up to PHP7 million ($113,000) for features and series, requiring a Filipino stake of 10% or more.
