Regular Legislative Committee 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.”

Event Details

From the two-party system of post-war Philippines to the multiparty system of today, political parties have featured prominently in Philippine elections. But how much do we truly understand about the nature and history of Philippine political parties and their impact on elections?

With months to go before the 2022 national elections, we invite you to a special edition of AmCham's monthly Legislative Committee Meeting as we are joined by political science professor Dr. Julio Teehankee to discuss the history of Philippine political parties and how they have figured in past presidential elections.
