THE Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry–Makati (PCCI) are exploring a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening local economic growth and expanding opportunities for overseas Filipinos.
The collaboration was discussed during the PCCI-Makati general membership meeting, where CFO Secretary Dante Ang II who served as keynote speaker said both groups share a goal of creating investment pathways and supporting the productive reintegration of Filipinos returning from abroad.
Ang highlighted several CFO programs that could help businesses and overseas Filipinos connect. These include BaLinkBayan, an online portal linking overseas Filipinos with local governments for investment opportunities; Peso Sense, a financial literacy campaign; and Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino (LinKaPil), which promotes diaspora philanthropy for small, high-impact development projects.
He said these initiatives give Filipinos abroad meaningful ways to contribute to national development while remaining engaged in civic, cultural, and economic activities.
