SILICON VALLEY, California — The Philippines has an established semiconductor system, but the country needs to market itself to the industry at large, the head of SEMI — a global industry association advancing the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing supply chain — said.

At a briefing here for a small group of Philippine and Japanese journalists on the US Department of State’s first “The Friends, Partners, Allies Program,” SEMI president and chief executive officer Ajit Manocha said the Philippines already has an established semiconductor ecosystem in the assembly and test companies.
