List of Ambassadors of the Philippines to Bangladesh
The Philippine Ambassador to Bangladesh is the official representative of the President of the Philippines to the head of state of Bangladesh. The Philippines recognized Bangladesh as a new state after the latter's independence from Pakistan on February 1972, after which diplomatic relations were established between the two countries. The Philippine Embassy in Dhaka was then opened on September 6, 1981, headed by Rodrigo Aragon as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim until 1986.
The Ambassador to Bangladesh is also accredited to the Republic of Maldives and the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. The current Philippine Ambassador to Bangladesh is Vicente Vivencio T. Bandillo, who has held the post since 2014.
