The Mindanao Media Hub is state-owned broadcast facility in Davao City, Philippines.

Construction

The construction of the Mindanao Media Hub began with the groundbreaking ceremony held on May 3, 2018. It was intended to host the Philippine government's media agencies and was initially projected to be finished by January 2019.[1] The facility's construction is part of Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to decentralize the operations of the national government, including state media.[2]

By August 2018, the media hub was already 40 percent complete.[2]

The facility was inaugurated on December 15, 2020. It was built at a cost of ₱700 million.[3] Another inauguration was held on March 18, 2021, to mark the full operations of the Mindanao Media Hub.[4]
