More than 25 top level executives from major American companies are targeting Manila, Clark, Subic, and Corregidor or the Luzon Economic Corridor during their visit from July 6 to 10, 2026, the Department of Trade and Industry announced.
The business delegation includes leaders from major U.S. investment firms from across the Northeast, Midwest, and other regions. During the five-day visit, they will meet with Philippine government leaders and local business owners. The trip comes at a time when the Philippines is actively working to welcome international businesses and establish itself as a key partner for U.S. companies looking to grow in Asia.
The busy schedule includes business meetings, informational briefings, and tours of major economic areas in Manila, Clark, Subic, and Corregidor, areas within the LEC.
While in Manila, the American visitors will attend a business forum hosted by local banks, business groups, and the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines. The event will spotlight opportunities in everyday sectors like green energy, banking, phone and internet services, manufacturing, housing, tourism, and shipping.
Following the forum, local economic and tourism agencies will host meetings to show what the Philippines has to offer, focusing on the country’s strong digital network and skilled workforce.
The delegation will also tour active development areas managed by local hub authorities in Clark and Subic to see the infrastructure firsthand. To close out the trip, the visitors will visit Corregidor Island, a historic site that marks the long-standing relationship between the United States and the Philippines.
The business trip is organized by the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in New York and the Philippine Consulates General in New York and Chicago, working alongside public and private business groups in both countries.
