About us

The Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI) is a non-stock, non-profit organization incorporated in 1996 out of the Arbitration Committee of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the use of arbitration as an alternative mode of settling commercial transaction disputes and providing dispute resolution services to the business community. Its membership is composed of prominent lawyers, members of the judiciary, academicians, arbitrators, bankers, and businessmen.

PDRCI has broadened its scope of arbitration advocacy mission. It administers arbitration in specialized fields, such as maritime, banking, insurance, securities, and intellectual property disputes.

With the trade globalization, PDRCI has forged cooperation agreements with foreign arbitration centers such as the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board, the Indian Council of Arbitration, the Indonesian National Board of Arbitration, the Singapore International Arbitration Center, and the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre. It has also networked with the various committees of the International Chamber of Commerce, among which is the International Court of Arbitration. On November 2, 2004, PDRCI, together with 16 other arbitration centers and associations within the Asia Pacific region, established the Asia Pacific Regional Arbitration Group (APRAG) at Sydney, Australia.
