In celebration of World Photography Day, the global lighting solutions leader Godox has officially made its debut in the Philippines with a landmark launch event held on August 19, 2025, at the Shooting Gallery Studios, Makati City, hosted by JG Distribution.
The launch had gathered hundreds of creatives—in capturing moments, filmmaking and creating content. They, the creatives, get to try Godox's latest innovations in professional lighting technology and other fun activities.
Empowering Creativity Through Innovation
Since its founding in 1993, Godox has been at the forefront of professional lighting solutions, pushing the boundaries of technology to make world-class tools accessible to both professionals and aspiring creators. From studio photography to large-scale film productions, Godox products have become trusted tools for storytellers around the globe.
Guided by their mission to provide "lighting solutions that empower creativity," Godox believes every idea deserves the right tools to shine. Its entry into the Philippine market marks a new chapter of support for local creatives, equipping them with the technology to bring their visions to life.
A Celebration of Creativity
The launch event served not only as a product showcase but also as a celebration of the Filipino creative community. The program opened with remarks from JG Distribution Founder and Vice President Jill Tan, followed by insights from Ally Xiong of Godox Global and a product presentation from Mulawin Galang, Godox Philippines Brand Manager.
Adding depth to the program were testimonial videos from two of the country's top equipment rental companies, CMB Film Services Inc. and RSVP Film Studios. Kirk Baltazar of CMB shared that "the majority of the lights we are now using are Godox," underscoring the brand's growing dominance in professional production environments. Likewise, Rafa Laperal of RSVP Film Studios spoke about how Godox lighting has strengthened their workflow and offered reliable solutions for high-demand projects. Their endorsements highlighted Godox's reputation as a trusted partner for industry leaders and professionals.
The afternoon was capped by the live contract signing of the Godox Ambassadors, solidifying the brand's commitment to working closely with Filipino creators. By evening, the celebration continued with interactive "touch and try" stations, launch-exclusive promos, raffle prizes, and a high-energy live performance from OPM favorite Mayonnaise.
