In this new millennium, the Chamber will continue to organize for its members, a prestigious forum for business executives and individuals who need to keep on top of the latest developments in the Philippines and more importantly, who require the access to the key decision-makers from the public and private sectors from both countries.

Recent events have included meetings with the President of the Philippines, senior members of the Philippine Cabinet, the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, representatives of the U.S. government, and senior business executives from both U.S. and Philippine companies.

The Chamber is unique among U.S. based organizations doing business in today’s global economy. Membership in the Chamber allows you to become a part of an organization that has a strong familiarity with the Philippines available nowhere else. Our focus is strictly U.S.-Philippine relations. Many Chamber members have long standing relationships with the Philippines and; therefore, have extensive knowledge of the country, its people, its politics and its business environment.
