Mission Statement

"My vision is to realize the enormous potential of the Philippine / American Community and to become one voice within the Tampa Bay Business Community by creating a structured organization in which members can communicate, network, and take advantage of the vast resources that our community has to offer." Paul Beraquit, Chamber President

We will strengthen the Philippine / American Community through networking and utilizing the immeasurable resources and infinite knowledge that we, as individuals, have to offer. By creating a foundation on which our community can prosper, we are ensuring the well being of our community for generations to come.

"Kababayans helping Kababayans"

• Aiding and advancing communication and networking within the Philippine/ American Community.
• To unite our strengths to form a strong voice within the Business Community.
• To educate others and ourselves with the knowledge we have as individuals to better the Philippine /

American Community.
• Assurance that the Philippine / American Chamber of Commerce of Tampa will encourage good Business Ethics within and around our community.

In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all Filipino-Americans to join our organization. The knowledge and experience that each one of us has to offer will not only benefit the community, but individually as well.

The advantages of joining are beyond measure. We will provide forums in which members of similar professions can meet and exchange ideas, form partnerships, and learn from one another. New business owners and young professionals can learn from the past experiences of seasoned and successful members, ensuring the success of the youth within our community.

We will provide opportunities in which members can market their companies by taking advantage of our various services, including business directories, events, etc.

As we grow, we will become a dominant force within the community, enabling us to form strategic alliances and relationships with various companies and industries within the Tampa Bay area.
