Strengthening Japanese business ties
Top local audit and tax
advisory services firm KPMG R.G. Manabat & Co. (KPMG RGM&Co.), a member
of KPMG International, recently hosted a cocktail celebration for its Japanese
clients and the Japan business community here in the Philippines. The special
guests were Sec. Ramon M. Lopez of the Department of Trade and Industry and
Tsutomu Takahashi, chairman of KPMG Japan.
Leading the local team was KPMG
RGM&Co. chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Roberto G. Manabat, who welcomed
both Sec. Lopez and Takahashi, noting that the event aimed to highlight – and
further bolster – the close economic ties between the Philippines and Japan.
KPMG RGM&Co. vice chairman,
chief operating officer, and head of the Japan desk Emmanuel P. Bonoan then introduced
Sec. Lopez, who extolled the strong trade relations between Japan and the
Philippines. “Japan is our largest trade partner,” Sec. Lopez emphasized. “The
Philippines has a trade surplus with Japan, which is also the largest Official
Development Assistance donor to our country. “
For his part, Takahashi, who
was generously introduced by KPMG RGM&Co. chairman and CEO-designate Sharon
G. Dayoan, expressed his utmost appreciation for the warm welcome and the
attendance of those present.
“The mission of KPMG is
towards the growth and prosperity of Japanese companies, and to support
cooperation and improve communication between KPMG Japan and other member
firms,” he remarked.
KPMG RGM&Co., which
marks its 10th year of providing professional audit, tax, and
advisory services in the country, has lined-up a slate of activities and events
leading up to its grand celebration in the second quarter of 2017.
