European Business Community in the Philippines

OUR POLICY AND ADVOCACY WORK

We shape policies and advocate for reforms that enable fair, sustainable, and competitive markets.

Through regular dialogues with government agencies and the release of timely position papers and whitebooks, we influence key policies and reforms that enhance the ease of doing business and drive regulatory improvements. The Chamber’s 24 sector committees, led by private sector leaders, provide a platform for members to collaborate, address industry-specific challenges, and ensure that the voice of the European-Philippine business community is heard in decisions shaping the economic landscape.

TESTIMONIALS

What our Members have to say.

Jed T. Estanislao

Eastern Telecommunications Philippines

During these challenging times, being a member of the ECCP has allowed Eastern Communications to connect with its members through each of our respective digital platforms. With the help of the ECCP, Eastern Communications was able to reach different industries and share insights on how to adapt to the ever-changing business landscape. Upgrading from entry-level membership to premium membership gave us access to more channels and more collaboration opportunities, which helped us effectively reach ECCP member companies and build strong connections.

Patricia Bunye

Cruz Marcelo & Tenefrancia

I appreciate how ECCP has continued providing many opportunities for professional growth and business development even as we work from home. The various committees are also valuable sources of information and the level of engagement has not diminished even in these challenging times.

Tony Peralta

Freedom Inc.

Our membership with the ECCP has been a rewarding experience for our organization given their relevant and timely programs and conferences for its members. We have gained a lot from our attendance of the conferences and webinars, giving us a different perspective on the way business is being done here and overseas. Our involvement in the Agricultural Advocacy Committee of the ECCP has provided us with valuable insights on the challenges and opportunities in strengthening the commodity value chains in agricultural communities.

Jun Palanca

ING Bank N.V. Manila

Our membership in the ECCP has allowed us to understand the pulse of the European business community in the Philippines. This membership has also enabled ING to connect better with European business concerns, and has given ING Bank better insights on the conduct of European businesses in the Philippines. ECCP provides ING the platform to reinforce ING’s relationship and connectivity with both European and Philippine business partners.

Sheila Lobien

Lobien Realty Group

It has been a productive, impactful and fun ride with ECCP the past 12 years. It was very challenging but productive to chair the ECCP Women in Business Committee. We made a mark by highlighting that women in business are more than ready to continue demanding more seats, space and voice at the table. The founding of Lobien Realty Group is my best personal example. The impact is noticeable by the growing number of participants in this Committee. ECCP and the WBC have become an avenue for women members to learn from each other, seek mentors and friends, network with other women business leaders.

Sarah Mcleod

Q2 HR Solutions

As a long time member of the ECCP when the COVID-19 lockdown began, it was challenging for us all to even think about how our membership would help us. Over the ensuing weeks, I began to rely on the regular updates about what was happening, trusting that the team had done their research. We used the data shared from the research team to assist us in making good business decisions and conversations with the teams in our company. Sharing the latest industry updates with our clients, in turn, helped them.
