OUR MEMBER STORIES
“Not just staying abreast but keeping ahead of the times made ECCP at the forefront of our daily source of input and valuable insights into our business considerations. The current pandemic crisis was proof of ECCP’s continuing efforts to serve its membership. The myriad of information that was imparted to our team through all the forums and webinars that was conducted proved very vital during those early times of uncertainty and apprehension. We will continue to salute ECCP’s dedication to serving the group and our country as a whole.“

“Pacifictech Solutions has been a member of ECCP since 2013. We stayed as a member of ECCP because they give us access to a local and global network of businesses that opens doors to new opportunities and initiates future collaboration. It has been a fruitful journey that has strengthened our stand in the Philippine and European business community. We truly appreciate their commitment to keep their members engaged during this difficult time. ECCP has always been a provider of good business support and we are looking forward to more years with them.“

“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.“

“I would like to express my unwavering support to all the policies, trainings and advocacies that the ECCP is aiming to successfully achieve; the goal to continuously be a platform of ideas, ideals, and where like-minded individuals and organizations can meet, collaborate and grow. Through the non-stop trainings, seminars and meetings where we discuss, tackle and hopefully find solutions to the problems that we, as a global community, are facing no matter what industry or walk of life. I have no doubt that being part of this community is an asset that my company and I value.“

“This global pandemic has gravely affected the rhythm of daily business, but the ECCP never missed a step. It quickly adapted to the new normal, strengthening its networks with constant and open communication and bringing service to where it is needed. As the Chair of the ECCP North Luzon Business Council, we do our best in extending the same level of service from our office in Clark to ECCP members in North Luzon. Without a doubt, the ECCP continuously fulfills the promise of being the chamber of choice.“
