WHEREAS, the Philippines will be the host

WHEREAS, the APEC hosting by the Philippines is a historic event for
the country and its people viewed in the context of being able to steer
the future direction of economic cooperation among the eighteen (18)

give substance to the APEC Economic Leaders' vision of achieving free
and open trade and investment in the APEC region by 2010 for
industrialized economies and 2020 for developing economies;
WHEREAS, the Philippines attaches great importance to APEC not only
because it is a founding member of the organization but, more

economic growth is closely interlinked with trade and investment
liberalization in the APEC region;
WHEREAS, to be able to effectively advance Philippine interests in the
APEC process, more particularly at the critical level of Senior
Officials' meetings, comprehensive and careful planning is a vital
prerequisite that must be met;
WHEREAS, to enable the Chair of APEC Senior Officials to carry out his
immense tasks for the Philippines, he will require the support of a
