About

The Arangkada Philippines Project during its first 5 years 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 on the progress achieved during its first phase.
