Philippine International Seafreight Forwarders Association, Inc. - Paranaque City

It was on March 30, 1984, when about 15 freight forwarding companies, presided by Mr. Dante Castor of OCS Philippines Inc., gathered to formalize the setting up of an association of freight forwarders engaged in international trade. Mr. Al Villaverde, who was then a special guest, revealed that the Phil. Shippers’ Council had been looking forward to have such an organization to serve as a forum for the government and the private sector in threshing out problems that hinder the development of the freight forwarding industry which is an integral part in the promotion of the country’s international trade.
