The Southeast Asia Cultural Week (August 28- September 4, 1977) has been celebrated in Tuebingen/West Germany, whre the Philippines actively participated.

Another great happening was the economic conference on Philippine-German development cooperation between representatives of the Philippine Government headed by Dr. Gerardo P. Sicat, Minister of Economic Planning, General Director of the National Economic and Development Authorithy.

Back to the culture: the very first Philippine-German concert with Filipino artists with Filipino artists performing at the Paco Park, the original resting place of Jose P. Rizal after his execution.
