AmCham Visayas General Membership Meeting & Induction of Officers

AmCham Visayas

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.”

Speaker

Joseph "Ace" H. Durano

Former Tourism Secretary Joseph "Ace" H. Durano was the youngest and longest-serving tourism secretary post-EDSA, as well as one of the youngest to be elected representative to the 11th congress (1998-2001). He was an Assistant Majority Floor Leader and Vice Chairman of the Committee on Trade and Industry during that time.

In the 12th Congress (2001-2004), he was the Chairman of the Committee on Public Order and Security and Vice Chairman of the Committees on DPWH and on Dangerous Drugs.

During his stint as Tourism Secretary, he launched the Annual Trabaho sa Turismo (TST), an event structured to bolster not only the country’s employment rate but also to boost activity in the tourism arena through job offers from globally acclaimed companies.

He took his high school and college education in America after finishing elementary education in Cebu City. He finished his Bachelor of Arts in Asia at the University of Redlands, California, then took up law at Ateneo de Manila University and graduated in 1997. He became a member of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines in 1998. While in law school, he was a research assistant of the Free Legal Assistance Group in Cebu City and at the Regional Trial Court Branch XXV in Davao City. He also finished his Masters in Business Administration- Regis in 2012 from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Rockwell, Makati City, Philippines.

Now, aspiring for a gubernatorial post, Ace will present to the members of the Visayas Chapter his Priority Development Plan for a Better Cebu.
