Ukraine eyes deeper trade ties with the Philippines
Business World Philippines
|September 01, 2025
UKRAINE is moving to deepen trade and investment ties with the Philippines, with proposals for formal agreements in agriculture, technology and cybersecurity as Kyiv seeks new partners in Asia despite the ongoing war with Russia.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the Philippines Yuliia Fediv said a draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) creating a joint commission on trade, investment and scientific cooperation has been sent to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
A similar proposal was transmitted to the Department of Agriculture (DA). A high-level Ukrainian delegation is expected to visit Manila this October, she added.
"The Ukrainian government has already sent the draft MoU on the creation of a joint commission on trade, investment and scientific technical cooperation," Ms. Fediv said at a forum on Aug. 30. "It was sent by our Ministry of Economic, Ecology, and Agriculture to your Department of Trade and Investment. So, we just wait for the official answer... Hopefully, we can [already sign] this agreement on creating a joint commission."

So, it’s here...
First off: 15-year-old Chris Fabian should be awarded pronto with the highest honor that the Boy Scouts of the Philippines/Girl Scouts of the Philippines (BSP/GSP) can give — provided that investigations confirm that he was indeed a member and did save lives (singlehandedly, if we are to believe initial accounts, and at the cost of his own) in that June 22 morning mass shooting at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City.
