AMML discusses the country’s role in various aspects of PH-Japan relationsAmbassador Manuel M. Lopez (AMML) invited Japanese entrepreneurs to invest in the manufacturing and business processing service sectors in the Philippines as he cited the skills, positive work attitude and English proficiency of the large Filipino workforce as among the key factors for a mutually beneficial business venture.

AMML met Japanese business executives and government officials during separate remarks before the members of the TOA General Institute and at the 20th anniversary of the ROCOCO company in Tokyo.
