4th AmCham NCR Virtual General Membership Meeting

AmCham Philippines

AmCham came to life in 1902 as the Manila Coffee Round Table and later as Manila Merchants Association. Incorporated in 1920, it has since then recognized and reconfirmed the commitment of American business to the development and welfare of the Philippines and the Filipino people.

This is a commitment of long-standing, as its mission statement declares:

The Chamber exists to serve the interests of U.S. businesses through the participation of members in promoting their long-term objectives while contributing to the civic and economic development of the Philippines.”

The growing tension around the highly disputed South China Sea continues to escalate despite the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic. The conflict between the countries involved continues to arise as they assert their rights over the highly contested waters.

While the Philippines and its neighboring countries like Vietnam,Malaysia and Indonesia continue to impose their countries' maritime rights in the region despite the current scenario.
