PCCIHRDF Seals Key Partnership to Advance Skills and Cyber Readiness in Cagayan
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan — Strengthening collaboration between industry, education, and government, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), through the PCCI Human Resources Development Foundation (PCCIHRDF), formalized two key partnerships aimed at advancing workforce readiness and digital resilience in Cagayan. The signing of a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Carmelita Hotel last April 14, 2026 with leading academic institutions for Cyber Hygiene Training, alongside a separate MOU with Cagayan National High School for the implementation of the PCCI Education and Training (PET) System.
The event was graced by Cagayan Governor and former PNP Chief Edgar Aglipay, alongside regional directors from key government agencies, and representatives from the local government.
The event also featured the induction of new members of PCCI Cagayan, led by PCCI Director and PCCIHRDF President Dr. Alberto P. Fenix, Jr., underscoring the organization’s continued commitment to expanding its network and deepening regional engagement.
The Cyber Hygiene Training initiative aims to equip entrepreneurs, organizations, and individuals with the knowledge and tools to safely navigate the digital landscape and avoid online threats. Seven academic institutions in Cagayan have committed to roll out the training, including Aparri Polytechnic Institute (API), Cagayan State University (CSU), University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USL), Medical Colleges of Northern Philippines (MCNP), International School of Asia and the Pacific (ISAP), and University of Cagayan Valley (UCV).
Dr. Fenix emphasized the urgency of the initiative, noting that “in today’s digital age, data has become as valuable as gold—making it a prime target for misuse if not properly safeguarded.” He highlighted that strengthening cyber awareness at the community level is critical to building a secure and resilient digital economy.
Meanwhile, the PCCI Education and Training (PET) System—PCCIHRDF’s flagship program—seeks to bridge the skills gap by combining in-school learning with structured in-company immersion. Designed to prepare students for gainful employment or entrepreneurship, the PET System aligns with the priorities of the Department of Education (DepEd) to enhance the quality and relevance of senior high school immersion programs. Cagayan National High School will serve as the pilot partner in the province for this initiative.
Private sector stakeholders were also represented by members of PCCI Cagayan, led by President Evelyn Velasco, together with PCCI Region 02 Regional Governor Jose Avelino Diaz and partner educational institutions.
The signing of these two MOUs reinforces PCCIHRDF’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth by strengthening human capital development and promoting digital security—ensuring that both students and professionals are equipped to thrive in an increasingly digital and interconnected economy.

PCCI, SB Corp ink P7B financing program for MSME's
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and Small Business Corporation (SB Corp) recently signed an agreement to roll out a P7 billion loan facility program aimed at extending financial aid to MSMEs affected by the increased fuel prices.
PCCI President Perry Ferrer said that the partnership essentially seeks to make SB Corporations loan products and services accessible to MSMEs nationwide. Under the agreement, the PCCI will serve as a conduit in processing and validating the application requirements, with local chamber of commerce and industry (LCCI) chapters designated to accept and endorse applications from members in good standing.
“This undertaking was initiated by Trade Secretary Roque through the SB Corp. to extend loan assistance to MSMEs. We have secured a P7B loan project with SB Corporation for enterprises that are in three priority sectors – women-led, export development, and returning OFWs,” Ferrer said, adding that the loan program may offer a grace period of up to 12 months and could require no collateral.
Ferrer said that eligible MSMEs may avail of various of loan programs under the RISE UP (Resilient, Innovative, Sustainable Enterprises) initiative. Under this program, loanable amount ranges from P30 million to P50 million.
“The loan program is not only for PCCI. We are here to help facilitate the screening and processing of documents, making it easier for SB Corporation to accept and confirm applications, “Ferrer added.
Under the agreement, the qualified borrows must a) at least 60 percent Filipino-owned for partnerships and corporation, b) have an asset size not exceeding P100 million (exclusive of land), c) with a good track record of at least one year, and d) with no past due account under SB Corp Program and no major negative credit ratings.
Ferrer said that the PCCI national will oversee the validation of documents submitted by the LCCI chapters before they are forwarded to SB Corporation for inclusion in its database.
“The private sector and government need to work together to find innovative solutions to help our MSMEs, widely recognized as the backbone of our economy. Aside from fuel cost reduction measures, we are also working on other solutions to help MSMEs lessen the burden,” the PCCI chief added.
