Message from The Chairwoman

The Philippine Business Council – Dubai and Northern Emirates (PBC-DNE) is committed to serving as a dynamic platform for Filipino professionals and entrepreneurs in the UAE. At the heart of this leadership is a renewed mission: to empower the Filipino business community by fostering connection, collaboration, and growth in an ever-evolving global landscape.


PBC-DNE continues to focus on creating meaningful opportunities for its members—whether through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, or mentorship initiatives designed to strengthen capabilities and expand networks. The council aims to equip members with the tools and support needed to adapt, lead, and thrive in today’s competitive business environment.


With a strong emphasis on inclusivity and shared progress, the council envisions a community where every member feels heard, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Initiatives will be directed toward cultivating a culture of innovation, excellence, and unity—allowing Filipino professionals and entrepreneurs to shine and succeed across industries.


Members are encouraged to take an active role in this journey: to contribute ideas, build impactful relationships, and work collectively toward a stronger, more resilient Filipino business community in the UAE.


Together, the council and its members can turn challenges into opportunities and create a legacy of empowerment for future generations. We invite you to be part of this great endeavor for our community. Maraming Salamat po.
