At the beginning of March, the Fifth Sino-Philippine Economic Conference was held; participants hoped to give Filipinos a new look at the investment potential from the ROC as well as to promote the passage of a local "Taiwan Relations Act."
今年三月初，第五屆中菲、菲中經濟會議在馬尼拉市召開，歷年來最龐大、包括二百餘人的我方代表團出席盛會，為的是引起菲律賓朝野對我國投資廠商投資潛力的「另眼相待」，進一步推動「台灣關係法」草案在菲國會獲得通過，以保障我國廠商在菲的權益。
