The IHAP is a non-stock, non-profit organization of investment houses that aims to further develop the country’s capital market. The 5th IHAP Awards highlighted key transactions and investment houses that were instrumental in bringing forth innovation, social progress, and considerable economic impact to the Philippine Capital Markets.
