Press Conference: Arangkada Website launch
July 20, 2011 at 06:59
Six months after the release of “Arangkada Philippines 2010: A Business Perspective”, the Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines (JFC) launched the official Arangkada Philippines website on July 20, 2011 at the Intercontinental Manila, Makati City.
The new website www.arangkadaphilippines.com is another milestone for Arangkada. “We have always said that Arangkada is a living document,“ says Henry Schumacher, of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP). “It does not end with the book. This website is an important tool that monitors how those published recommendations are being received and how our partners in government respond. As the JFC is committed to supporting the government in making changes needed for Philippine growth to accelerate, the website also allows for us to assess how we in the private sector can help in making that happen.”
The website provides local and global investors information about progressive change as it happens, as well as a fair and balanced look at the business and investment climate of the Philippines. “It’s a continuous, virtual FGD between foreign and domestic investors, the JFC and the public sector,” says John Forbes of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), principal author of the Arangkada document. “The information can be updated and the discussion remains relevant.” Global readers can also access the Arangkada website through www.investphilippines.info.
