Washington, D.C. — Mon Abrea, Founder and Chief Tax Advisor of the Asian Consulting Group (ACG), the Philippines’ most trusted tax advisory firm, will take a brief intermission from his international roadshow to attend the Tax Policy for Practitioners (TPP) executive program on international taxation at the Duke Center for International Development (DCID) under Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. This follows the successful joint investment mission in London with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), strengthening ACG’s mission to attract foreign investment and promote sustainable, investor-friendly tax reforms in the Philippines.

Renowned for cultivating global leaders in tax policy and public finance, the TPP program convenes top-level policymakers, economists, and tax professionals from around the world to address today’s most pressing fiscal and cross-border tax challenges through innovative, evidence-based solutions.

This international engagement further solidifies Mon Abrea’s reputation as one of Asia’s foremost authorities on international tax and governance reform. A graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School and an Edward S. Mason Fellow, Abrea earned his Master’s in Public Administration with a focus on global governance, economic policy, and leadership. He continues to advise policymakers, multinational corporations, and global investors, leading high-impact initiatives to modernize tax systems, enhance transparency, and drive inclusive growth in developing economies, particularly the Philippines.

Complementing his work in international tax, Abrea also completed advanced studies at the University of Oxford, focusing on Climate Change, Politics, and Environmental Justice, where he explored how equitable taxation and fiscal policy can accelerate climate resilience and sustainable development.

Abrea is also the author of the visionary book series Reimagining the World, which redefines the role of tax policy in solving global crises. The first installment, Reimagining the World Without Corruption, was launched at Harvard Kennedy School and advocates for systemic anti-corruption reforms, highlighting global frameworks such as BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) and the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax to ensure fair taxation of large multinational enterprises. His latest book, Reimagining the World Without Climate Change, to be launched at Oxford University, introduces bold fiscal tools such as a global carbon tax to support climate action. The third and final installment, Reimagining the World Without Poverty, will be released next year, focusing on inclusive economic models through tax justice.

His participation in Duke’s executive program reinforces ACG’s commitment to linking global expertise with local impact, providing multinational corporations, foreign investors, and public sector partners with the strategic tax insight they need to succeed in today’s fast-changing global economy.

“This opportunity at Duke is not a pause — it’s a strategic leap,” says Abrea. “As ACG brings the Philippines to the world stage, we remain focused on building smarter, more inclusive tax systems that attract global capital, ensure compliance, and drive sustainable, long-term growth.”
