The Arangkada Philippines Project, the advocacy arm of the Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC), is inviting you to a workshop series to identify and advocate for priority legislative measures in preparation for the next Congress. Your participation in these sessions will be instrumental in consolidating a strategic list of bills for advocacy.

The session will happen on March 24, 2025 (Monday) from 9:30 AM - 12:00 NN and it will focus on policies regarding labor, trade, taxation, and energy. The event will be held at the Robert Sears Hall, AmCham Philippines.

Guest Speakers:

• Hon. Bienvenido Laguesma, Secretary, Department of Labor and Employment
• Asec. Kristian Ablan, Assistant Secretary and Department Legislative Liaison Officer, Department of Trade and Industry
• Asec. Karlo Adriano, Assistant Secretary Fiscal Policy and Monitoring Group, Department of Finance
• Atty. Myra Fiera Roa, Director for Legal Services, Department of Energy

We'd like to invite you to join us in these discussions, including briefings from participating government agencies on relevant laws passed, remaining legislative priorities, and bills needing further consideration.

The workshop series aims to:

• Gather key inputs on proposed bills, including those that may require reconsideration or further refinement;
• Provide an opportunity to secure the support of the business community for shared legislative goals; and
• Develop a priority legislative list to advocate for in the 20th Congress.
