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. [1] [2] Counting senior executives from some of the Philippines' largest corporations among its members, it pursues its objectives through four main lines of activity: policy advocacy, information services and publishing, investment promotion, and corporate citizenship. [3] It has played a key role[ clarification needed] in Philippine history, notably playing a key role [1] in galvanizing the mainstream resistance [4] against the Marcos Dictatorship [5] and the Marcos family's later return to power.
