The Makati Business Club is a private non-profit business association in the Philippines founded in 1981 to promote the role of the business sector in national development efforts and as a forum for constructive ideas and action.
For more than four decades, MBC continues to serve as a forum where top business leaders can discuss and take action on two fronts: global competitiveness and responsible business. MBC is focused on advocacies and projects that push for a competitive, job-creating economy and democratic society. Some of MBC’s initiatives include economic briefings, digital democracy partnerships with LGUs, Philippine Business Councils, the APEC Business Advisory Council (Philippines), and sustainability & circular economy for businesses.

Apa worked in the media industry, then in corporate for the Transnational Diversified Group, ABS-CBN, PhilWeb Corporation, and Alphaland Corporation. Ongpin succeeded Roberto “Bobby” Batungbacal (former Dow Chemicals Philippines Inc. country manager).
