PH to showcase opportunities at China International Fair Trade In Services

Beijing, 04 September 2025 — The Philippines is poised to make waves at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) 2025, welcoming Chinese investors and visitors to explore boundless opportunities. 

“Our 110-million-strong consumer market, our youthful and creative workforce, and our strategic ASEAN location – they all make the Philippines China’s ideal progress partner in services trade,” said Philippine Ambassador Jaime FlorCruz.

Spanning 140 square meters, the Philippine pavilion will project the country as both a tropical paradise and a fast-growing economy endowed with rich natural resources and a highly skilled, dedicated workforce. 

Designed to transport visitors to the Philippines’ world-famous beach destinations, the pavilion will offer an immersive experience of a virtual archipelagic paradise blessed with strategic investment prospects.

CIFTIS 2025 will be held on 10–14 September 2025 at Shougang Park, Shijingshan District. Philippine participation will build on the theme: “Thrive Together: Where Paradise Fuels Progress.”

Anchored on the long history of people-to-people relations between China and the Philippines, the pavilion will bring to CIFTIS the warmth and hospitality of the Filipino spirit, said Tourism Attaché Ireneo Reyes. “We welcome even more Chinese tourists and business travelers to experience Filipino hospitality,” Reyes said.

The Philippine Trade and Investment Center-Beijing and Department of Tourism-Beijing will jointly showcase high-potential sectors, including IT-enabled services and digital infrastructure, tourism, silver economy, agri-processing, electronics and manufacturing services. 

Ambassador FlorCruz said these sectors represent opportunities for collaboration with Chinese partners to seek innovation, growth, and shared prosperity. “Our goal is smart, targeted match-making,” he said.

With its large pool of talent and excellent track-record for IT-enabled services, the Philippines is ready to support the internationalization initiatives of Chinese enterprises. “We’re ready to provide critical customer-touching, complex back-office business processing and health info management services to potential Chinese partners,” said Commercial Counsellor Glenn Peñaranda.

The Philippine Pavillion is a one-stop platform for Chinese investors and visitors to experience the Philippines – a tropical hub with boundless business and travel opportunities. 

Visitors can enjoy authentic Philippine coffee and local fruits, watch traditional cultural performances, join interactive trivia games, and stand a chance to win raffle prizes—including a roundtrip ticket and hotel accommodation to the Philippines. (30)
