The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines (Chinese: 駐菲律賓代表處; pinyin: Zhù Fēilǜbīn Dàibiǎo Dhù) represents the interests of Taiwan in the Philippines, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. Its Philippine counterpart is the "Manila Economic and Cultural Office" in Taipei.[4]
It was first established in 1975 as the Pacific Economic and Cultural Center, replacing the former Republic of China Embassy.[1] In 1984, its staff acquired diplomatic privileges and immunity, as did those of its Philippine counterpart, then known as the Asian Exchange Center.[5] It adopted its present name in December 1989.[2]
