Branch Office

A foreign branch office is 100% owned by the parent company and It is considered as an extension of the parent company. Registration as a branch office in the Philippines entitles a foreign corporation to do business in the country without a need to create a separate entity from its parent company. As such, it is not required to have directors or officers separate and distinct from its parent company. Hence, any liabilities that it will incur are considered liabilities of the head office of its parent company.
