The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco, led by Consul General Neil Frank Ferrer, attended the 2025 East Bay Global Forum in Berkeley, California, on September 11.
The event gathered government, business, and diplomatic leaders to foster international trade, innovation, and economic development in the East Bay region of Northern California.
Ferrer said the Philippines is keen to expand cooperation with the East Bay, particularly in clean energy, biotechnology, software, and advanced manufacturing.
“The mention of the Philippines as a key manufacturing base for an energy technology company is a clear affirmation of our country’s value,” he added.
The consulate also emphasized that the San Francisco Bay Area remains a crucial hub for innovation, talent, and economic partnerships between the Philippines and the United States.
