generates for the latter about US$ 4B in trade and investments.
Taiwan is also the 5th biggest source of tourist arrivals for the
Philippines with 115,182 Taiwanese tourists visiting the country

trade makes the Philippines a preferred destination for Taiwanese.

discovering the beauty of the Philippines. The country gets a high
rate of 40% for first time visits, and a steady rate of 30% for
repeat visits from Taiwan.
