The Joint Foreign Chambers
In 2010, the Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC) of the Philippines, namely the American, Canadian, European, Japanese, Korean chambers and Philippine Association of Multinational Companies Regional Headquarters, Inc. (PAMURI), launched Arangkada Philippines as its advocacy initiative. It has since produced policy briefs comprising a corpus of private sector policy recommendations for job creation, poverty reduction, and increased foreign direct investments, among others.
Arangkada Philippines
Launched in 2010, The Arangkada Philippines Project (TAPP) is the advocacy arm of the Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC). During its first 5 years, it has become a brand name for faster economic growth and higher investment. Now in its second phase, the project aims to continue its multi-channel advocacy, through alliance partnerships with leading foreign chambers and Philippine business groups, of a broad range of business and economic reforms. The project continues the positive influence it has had in the Philippine business climate through advocacy of the Arangkada recommendations to build on the progress achieved during its first phase.
Arangkada Philippines Forum
The Arangkada Philippines Forum is their annual flagship event which was established last 2012. Since then, it has become a premier platform to assemble government officials, business leaders, industry experts, investors, diplomats, members of the international development community, and media to discuss topics/issues that are relevant in improving the country’s business and investment climate.
