Internationally acclaimed Filipina singer and Broadway star Lea Salonga is set to join Academy Award-winning Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie as a featured speaker at the 2026 ASEAN Inclusive Growth Summit on Nov. 11 in Manila.

The two internationally recognized personalities will join leaders and changemakers at the gathering to discuss opportunities, inclusion and the future of economic growth across Southeast Asia.

The Center for Inclusive Growth announced Salonga's participation in a social media post, describing her as a voice that has inspired generations through her achievements in theater, music and storytelling.

"From Broadway to stages around the world, Lea has broken barriers, represented Filipino talent on the global stage, and inspired generations through the power of storytelling," the organization said.

Salonga, known for her internationally acclaimed performances in musical theater, has become one of the Philippines' most prominent cultural ambassadors, bringing Filipino talent to audiences around the world.

Jolie, meanwhile, was also announced as a featured speaker at the summit.

The organization described the actress and filmmaker as a global advocate for human rights and humanitarian action, citing her more than two decades of work supporting refugees, displaced communities and vulnerable populations.

The summit will bring together influential personalities, leaders and advocates to explore ways to advance inclusive opportunities and build a more resilient future for Southeast Asia.

The participation of Salonga and Jolie is expected to bring perspectives from the entertainment industry, cultural representation and humanitarian advocacy to discussions on the region's future.
