About the center
The flags displayed in front of DAPCC Tagaytay represent the 21 member economies of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO). The APO is a nonpolitical, nonprofit, and nondiscriminatory intergovernmental organization established in 1961 to promote the socio-economic development of the Asia-Pacific region through productivity. APO pursues this mission through research, capacity-building initiatives, and policy advisories. As the country's National Productivity Organization and a strong partner of the APO, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) is well-positioned to advance sustainable innovation and productivity in the Philippines.
