The Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines expresses our deepest regret at the passing of Former Ambassador Roberto “Bobby” Romulo. Over the years, he has excelled in both public and private sectors as a business leader, statesman, and influential columnist. He has championed many advocacies such as on national competitiveness, the IT-BPO sector, public health care, and disaster preparedness.
Former Ambassador Romulo is a recipient of the Arangkada Lifetime Achievement Award. For more than a decade, he has been a valuable partner and friend to the JFC as we worked with him in advocating many reforms that will help improve the business climate in the country.
We are saddened over the news of his passing and extend our fullest condolences to his family.
