The Filipino-Chinese Amity Club (菲華聯誼總會) is a Philippines-based overseas Chinese community organization. It was founded in 1974, one year before the normalization of China-Philippines diplomatic relations. The Club is described as a “patriotic organization” (愛國團體) that has operated “under the strong support of the Chinese embassy in the Philippines” (在中國駐菲使館的大力支持下), regularly inviting Chinese delegations to visit and organizing trade missions to China, including to China’s import and export fair in Canton. The Club published Lianyi Weekly (聯誼週刊) — or “Friendship Weekly” — in 1978, which later became The World News (菲律賓世界日報), which now advertises itself as the Philippines’ largest Chinese-language daily. Both the language of “frIendship” in the original publication title and the reference to “amity” in the club’s name suggest a close relationship with what China calls “united front work,” he effort to cultivate loyalty and political alignment among overseas Chinese communities and foreign elites in service of the Chinese Communist Party’s strategic interests abroad. In October 2022, the Club hosted a study session promoting the Chinese Communist Party’s annual legislative session, the 20th National Congress, which cites the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines. In May 2023, it was awarded the “Light of the Chinese Community” (華社之光) title at the 10th Conference for Friendship of Overseas Chinese Associations （第十屆世界華僑華人社團聯誼大會) in Beijing –  an event co-hosted by China’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, which since 2018 has functioned as an external name of the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department. The Club has branches across the Philippines, including in Cebu, Central Luzon, and Davao, and its stated mission includes promoting China-Philippines friendship and Chinese cultural preservation among the overseas Chinese community.
