ABOUT US

We bridge markets and create opportunities for European and Philippine businesses.

Founded in 1978, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) is a multilateral chamber with over 900 members and a strong presence across key regions in the Philippines. We advocate for fair and forward-looking economic policies, support market access through expert business consultancy and human capital development, and connect members to a dynamic network of stakeholders locally and abroad to drive growth and foster collaboration across sectors.

TESTIMONIALS

Discover insights and experiences shared by our members.

Lilibet Amatong

Publicus Asia, Inc.

We pride ourselves in claiming Publicus Asia, Inc. as the first, and probably still is the only registered lobbying firm in the Philippines. We need to be always abreast with issues and national policy directions. ECCP provides a venue to elevate economic and political discourses clinically. ECCP is not only responsive, but even anticipates its membership’s needs. Most importantly, ECCP offers a respite that maintains a steady flow of positive energies that is easily contagious --a much-needed reserve to keep us on course to recovery and be confident in meeting new realities.

Mark Anthony Tamayo

Mata-Perez, Tamayo & Francisco

ECCP is the voice of its members on a wide array of economic and business issues, legislative measures and administrative regulations. It is an effective advocate not just to protect the interest of its members, but to fulfill and secure the goals of the country’s national interest. As the current chair of the customs sub-committee, it is gratifying to be accorded the opportunity to share knowledge and experience with the members. Our firm’s membership with the Chamber opened the doors to great network opportunities and resources to people and organizations from diverse industry groups.

Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz

Technological Institute of the Philippines

We are grateful that T.I.P is a member of the ECCP because of the value-adding sharing from the ECCP webinars. The webinars have provided critical and vital information needed by an institution to survive this pandemic and still remain strong after. The learnings have made us better equipped to perform reengineered duties in this new normal.T.I.P. shall continue to be an active partner of ECCP. We look forward to more engagements with the organization, especially towards more networking and partnership opportunities with its nearly 800 members.

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.

Mary Lou Estrada

All Transport Network

The ECCP allowed us to engage with other multinationals in the industry. The ECCP’s value during the pandemic emerged as it swiftly provided relevant business tools: centralized, consistent, and accurate information through newsletters, opportunities for conversations through webinars, and insightful studies. There is a palpable feeling that the ECCP genuinely exists to aid the business community during these times. As a member for 24 years, All Transport Network’s benefits with the ECCP have evolved over the years; it is a testament to how our partnership grows together and remains relevant.

Mia Santamaria-Abela

Embassy of The Kingdom of Belgium (Walloon Export And Foreign Investment Promotion Agency - Manila)

As one of the pioneer members, the ECCP has been a resource and support to our organization in promoting trade between Belgium and the Philippines. Through this challenging time, our partnership with ECCP has been more vital. The daily advisories on COVID-19 and the series of webinars provide invaluable sources of information that keep us abreast with the latest developments in the country and connect us with industry stakeholders. With its long history of dynamic leadership and influence, we are proud to be a part of this strong organization.
