This milestone also reflects the enduring relationship between Japan and the Philippines, built on decades of friendship, cultural exchange, tourism, and people-to-people connections.

Through JCB Japan Fiesta, JCB transforms its 30th Anniversary into a celebration that everyone can enjoy—bringing the sights, sounds, flavors, and excitement of Japan to the heart of Manila, while looking ahead to many more years of connection between Japan and the Philippines.
