In line with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Philippines Prosperity Initiative, CIECA organized a Taiwan investment and trade delegation to the Philippines from August 25 to 30, led by Chairman Joseph Jye-Cherng Lyu. With strong support from MOFA and relevant ministries, and in close collaboration with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines (TECO) and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO), the mission not only demonstrated Taiwan’s determination to expand Southbound cooperation but also marked a new stage in the trilateral economic partnership among Taiwan, the United States, and the Philippines.
The delegation was co-led by CIECA Chairman Lyu, Vice Minister of Agriculture Huang Chao-Chin, and U.S.-Taiwan Business Council Vice President Lotta Danielsson. Moreover, SEMI Taiwan President Terry Tsao (Executive Board Director, CIECA) and Taichung Dadu Mountain Industry Innovation Foundation CEO Tzu-Tsen Liao (Board Director, CIECA) serving as deputy leaders of the delegation. Participants included representatives from major industry associations such as the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA), SEMI, the Chinese National Federation of Industries (CNFI), and the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association (NIEA). The delegation was composed of a wide range of industries including ICT, semiconductors, energy, AI, smart manufacturing, smart agriculture, cold chain logistics, and food processing. They conducted on-site visits to the Luzon Economic Corridor to assess investment and cooperation opportunities.
During the visit, the delegation toured the Agila Subic Industrial Park, TIPO High-tech Eco Park, New Clark City, and met with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority as well as the Bases Conversion and Development Authority. The mission also traveled to Ilocos Norte to explore investment potential in re-newable energy, agriculture, industrial zones, and tourism projects.
