Makati Business Club

The Makati Business Club is a private non-profit business association in the Philippines founded in 1981 to promote the role of the business sector in national development efforts.[1][2] Counting senior executives from some of the Philippines' largest corporations among its members, it pursues its objectives through four main lines of activity: policy advocacy, information services and publishing, investment promotion, and corporate citizenship.[3] It has played a key role in Philippine history, notably playing a key role[1] in galvanizing the mainstream resistance[4] against the Marcos Dictatorship[5] and the Marcos family's later return to power.[6]
