AmCham Mindanao

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.”

Assistant Secretary Romeo M. Montenegro

Deputy Executive Director and Head of Investments Promotion, International Relations & Public Affairs at Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA)

He is currently serving as Deputy Executive Director and concurrent head of Investments Promotion, International Relations and Public Affairs of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the principal government agency mandated to coordinate the integrated development of Mindanao.

His broad roles include overseeing implementation of MinDA programs to boost Mindanao's viability as an investment destination through facilitation and promotion efforts, including initiatives to strengthen participation in the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines–East ASEAN Growth Area or BIMP-EAGA sub-regional cooperation.

He obtained his Masters Degree in Public Administration at the Ateneo de Davao University; studied Peace Journalism at the University of Sydney under AusAID grant; graduated as part of the pioneering batch of University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) Agribusiness Executives’ Program; and went through Executive Leadership Development Program at the National University of Singapore.

He also underwent extensive trainings on Trade Facilitation in ASEAN Economies; Low Emission Development Strategy; Economic Corridors Development in Asia; Regional Power Market and Cross-Border Interconnection in ASEAN; and Lagging Region Development in Asia which were held in Singapore, Thailand and South Korea under grant programs from the ADB, USAID and the World Bank.

His broad experience and immense knowledge of Mindanao honed through years of extensive peace and development work has deepened his institutional insights that helped guide a handful of local and multi-national companies from across diverse sectors including power and energy, move along sound investment direction.

He has been with the government for over 24 years, under a dedicated career that has spanned across five administrations from Ramos to Duterte, including previous assignments to key executive offices under the Office of the President.
