Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines

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.

It was first established in 1975 as the Pacific Economic and Cultural Center, replacing the former Republic of China Embassy. In 1984, its staff acquired diplomatic privileges and immunity, as did those of its Philippine counterpart, then known as the Asian Exchange Center. It adopted its present name in December 1989.
