Testimonials

From Our Members

“Our company is an active member of ECOP since 2013. We joined in the hope of finding an accessible avenue of collective valuable information related to labor management relations. But ECOP gives us even more. ECOP adapts to the unique needs of its members and responds in an efficient and personalized approach. In ECOP, we can confidently say that we are valued and that our voice matters. Our continued membership and patronage to its programs, trainings, and other services is a choice that we don’t find difficult to make at all.’’

Grace Garcia-Membrebe

Sumitronics Phils., Inc.   

For years, ECOP has been the beacon of leadership in the Philippine business landscape that has transcended its dutiful representation not only towards the interest of its member establishments but also for the general welfare - in harmony - of labor and industry alike. With the ever evolving legal requirement in labor and business, ECOP has stood its ground despite the odds of social clamor, political pressure and shifting economic situations; and consistently forged its role as a pervading voice of employers in the country. Kudos to a job well done!

"There is no better place to develop your business than Employers Confederation of the Philippines. I have been able to meet and do business with the nicest and most professional people. The networking is incredibly valuable. There are dozens of events every year which give small business owners a chance to meet one another. Also, ECOP helped APW gain wide visibility with current and future clients, and the speakers and their topics teach our employees, of all generations, the valuable leadership skills that are critical to their professional development.”
