On June 12, 2025, at 6.30 P.M., Mr. Bhumivisan Kasemsook, Secretary-General of the PACC attended and congratulated at the reception on the occasion of celebrating the 127th Philippines Independence Day. H.E. Mrs. Millicent Cruz-Paredes, Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to Thailand, graciously welcomed the guests at the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, located on Rama I Road, Pathumwan District. This event served as an opportunity to foster good relations and strengthen cooperation, particularly in the area of prevention and suppression of corruption.

The Republic of the Philippines is known for its unique blend of Asian, European, and American cultural influences. It is the third-largest English-speaking country in the world and one of the most culturally diverse nations. Notably, the Philippines celebrates two historical milestones of independence, first from Spain on June 12, 1898, and later from the United States on July 4, 1946. However, June 12 has been designated as the official National Day to honor the collective struggle and victory of the Filipino people in gaining their independence.
