The Philippine Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (PhilCham Cambodia) officially launched at Raffles Hotel Le Royal last Thursday. The event was attended by HE Penn Sovicheat – undersecretary of state at the Ministry of Commerce – who welcomed the creation of PhilCham in his keynote speech. The launch saw the presentation of the founding board of directors, with Benilda Custodio-Fernando – audit director at PwC (Cambodia) – to serve as the founding president. “All of you who have come to this event are valued and are welcomed by the Philippine Chamber, and we will be happy to work and grow with you. By becoming a member of PhilCham Cambodia, you benefit from business intelligence from leaders of the Philippine business community, the promotion of your firm, networking, access to business and political leaders, social activities and issue advocacy,” Custodio-Fernando said.
