Why Do I Need to Appoint a Corporate Secretary in the Philippines?
New corporations, both local and foreign, are required to appoint a Corporate Secretary to ensure the Board of Directors are properly equipped with the information and tools they need to perform their obligations to the company’s shareholders. As such, the Corporate Secretary is required to execute all the decisions, resolutions, and changes put forth by the Board.
The Corporate Secretary is required to be both a resident and citizen of the Philippines. Under the law, they are required to document minutes of board meetings and ensure actions of the board during such meetings are acted in good faith and in accordance with the law. Subject to the specific by-laws of the corporation, they can be granted other duties and responsibilities (provided they are under the bounds of law and accepted practice).
