Our partners play an active role in shaping policy. They have been involved in hearings and deliberations within the Philippine Congress and Executive Departments on critical issues related to energy transition, digital transformation and sustainability.

We continue to provide valuable local insight and foresight on corporate and commercial transactions to leading domestic companies and foreign multinationals on various matters in relation to doing business in the Philippines.
