DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mark Ivan Roblas (Philippine Council for Industry\, 
 Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development)\nCommunicating as
 tronomy in the Philippines involves addressing challenges such as a limite
 d curriculum\, insufficient teacher training\, and infrastructure constrai
 nts while leveraging emerging technologies and fostering multi-sector coll
 aborations.  This paper is a meta-analysis of empirical studies\, program 
 evaluations\, policy reviews and case studies\, surrounding the conduct of
  communicating astronomy in the Philippines.  It covers the period of 2015
  to 2025 with the enactment of the Philippine Space Act in the middle of t
 he time period.  This study shows that most of the studies conducted are i
 n the urban and national-level studies.  There is also emerging themes on 
 rural and indigenous contextualualization\, the use of technology in commu
 nicating astronomy in rural settings\, and integration of indigenous astro
 nomical knowledge as well as the involvement of communities in astronomy o
 utreach. Future strategies should consider decentralizing outreach\, getti
 ng into culturally responsive approaches and the robust evaluation of inno
 vative platforms like augmented reality applications.\n\nhttps://indico.na
