multibook Co., Ltd., which provides the global cloud ERP service multibook, will present as a speaker at the seminar and networking event "Philippines Nihon-affiliated Companies Seminar & Exchange Session" hosted by Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank, Ltd. The Philippines has a population exceeding 100 million, and its population age is relatively lower than neighboring countries, so the labor-force-driven "demographic dividend" is expected to continue. English is widely used as an official-language-level working language, and the country is drawing attention as a market with high economic potential. This seminar will focus on two issues currently gaining attention in the Philippines: mandatory e-invoicing and utilization of foreign workers. Experts will explain the latest policy trends and practical implementation approaches. After the seminar, a networking session will be held to enable information exchange among participating companies.
