Created in partnership with the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN BAC) Philippines, the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) is a forward-looking policy framework designed to support the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN Chairship and ASEAN’s broader regional priorities. Through close collaboration between the public and private sectors, this initiative contributes practical solutions across five strategic pillars: sustainability and food security; healthcare; sustainable supply chains and logistics; digital economy and and workforce development; and artificial Intelligence.
