The Philippine Film Export Service Office (PFESO) was created with decidedly global perspective and objective: to promote the country as a viable and effective location site and post-production service provider in the region. PFESO was created via Executive Order 674 s. 2007, and its primary mandate is to facilitate the promotion of the Philippines as a viable filming location for foreign film and television content production, and for the following objectives:
