The European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ECCP) hosts a New Year reception attended by more than 300 top-level executives, diplomats, policymakers and key stakeholders from across the business community. Attending the event are (from left) Claro Bonilla of ABS-CBN Foundation, ECCP executive director Florian Gottein, FIAG chairman Alfred Reiterer, Tilo Kahl of Germany and Razvan Alexandrescu of România. Alexandrescu, who visited the Philippines for the first time upon the invitation of Reiterer, generously donated a valuable painting, which he won at the event to support the Gymnastic Association of the Philippines (GAP) under the leadership of Cynthia Carrion. ECCP president Paulo Duarte underscored the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility in strengthening bilateral trade and investment ties.
