As an organization that is recognized[1] and supported by the Government of the Philippines,[2] and as a business engaged in information and communications technology,[3] the goal of the ACPI is to promote the animation industry locally[1] and globally.
[2] It expresses high regard for locally produced animation with original content.
In relation to the training programs, ACPI is the developer of curriculum for 2D and 3D animation classes, as well as consultancy services.
[7] The Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. serves as a platform for providing member companies to showcase capabilities through activities such as participation in locally and internationally sponsored trade fairs and business matching services.
ACPI works hand in hand with participating colleges, universities, and other private and public educational institutions in the Philippines, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), national government agencies, and local government units in order to establish and develop animation as a "lucrative career" for Filipinos, including those that are adapted as introductory courses for children.
