Phnom Penh, 25 June 2024 - Philippine Ambassador Flerida Ann Camille P. Mayo received in a courtesy call today representatives of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce (PhilCham) in Cambodia.  

After listening to the introductory presentation led by PhilCham Executive Director Shiandy Puyao-Katoch, Ambassador Mayo discussed with the PhilCham callers potential areas of partnerships aligned with the goals of Philippine economic diplomacy and the Chamber’s advocacy to foster Philippines-Cambodia commercial and investment relations.

Currently, PhilCham’s 50-strong individual and corporate membership span the property, consultancy, health, aviation, tourism, and education sectors throughout Cambodia.  

Starting as an informal business network in 2016, PhilCham was officially launched in January 2021 against the backdrop of an increasing number of Filipino enterprises engaged in real estate, consultancy services, healthcare, aviation, tourism and education, among other sectors.  

The Philippine Embassy in Phnom Penh estimates that there are around 5,000 to 7,000 Filipinos in Cambodia working as teachers, managers, engineers, factory workers, support staff, and entertainers, among others. END
