Event Details
The STMO is created by virtue of Republic Act No. 1069, otherwise known as the Strategic Trade Management Act (STMA). This aims to enforce effective measures to establish domestic controls to prevent the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, collectively called Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and their means of delivery.
In this regard, the STMO is the executive and technical agency of the national government for establishing the management systems for the trade in strategic goods. The Security and Disaster Resources Group Committee of AmCham Philippines invited STMO to discuss national strategic goods and its impact on national security.
