Manila Bulletin

October 28, 2025

The Federation of Filipino-Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) lauded the government’s move to revive the electronic visa (eVisa) program for Chinese tourists, noting that this would rekindle the tourism industry.

- By DEXTER BARRO II

The business group said the return of the eVisa program is a “powerful and positive signal” that the Philippines is ready to welcome an influx of Chinese tourists.

“The FFCCCII pledges its full support to this endeavor and stands ready to help ensure its resounding success,” the group said in a statement penned by its president, Victor Lim.

“Let us open our doors and welcome a new chapter of prosperity and partnership,” it added.

The Philippine Embassy in Beijing earlier announced that it will open applications for eVisa among Chinese nationals starting next month.
