Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Congratulates
Top-Performing Cabinet Secretaries
MANILA, September 16, 2025 – The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) congratulates the top performers in the recent cabinet secretaries survey with special recognition for Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian.
Secretary Gatchalian's exceptional performance, achieving a 90.5% average rating comprised of an impressive 89% trust rating and 92% approval rating, represents the highest ranking among all cabinet secretaries.&nbsp;
The PCCI is not surprised that he topped this survey, having witnessed firsthand his exemplary service when Valenzuela City was awarded the PCCI Hall of Fame Award as Most Business Friendly LGU in the Philippines in 2015 under his leadership as Mayor. The Hall of Fame Award is given to Local Government Units that win the Most Business Friendly Award three times within five years.
The PCCI recognizes this outstanding survey result reflecting Secretary Gatchalian's transparent governance, effective program implementation, and genuine commitment to serving the country's most vulnerable populations.

PCCI backs CPTPP accession to diversify markets and fortify the economy amid global shifts
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) is strongly endorsing the Philippine government's formal application to accede to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). This strategic move is critical for securing the nation’s economic future at a time of increasing global trade fragmentation and protective measures from traditional partners.
This accession is not merely an opportunity but a strategic necessity. With key trading partners becoming more cautious towards imports to reinforce their own domestic industries, the Philippines must proactively diversify its export markets and reduce its vulnerability. The CPTPP provides a powerful avenue to achieve this, allowing the Philippines to integrate deeper with a bloc of dynamic economies committed to open markets.
The CPTPP comprises 12 member economies—Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom—representing a combined population of over 500 million and a GDP of USD $13.5 trillion. By joining, the Philippines will gain preferential access to critical markets where it currently lacks bilateral trade agreements, notably Canada, Mexico, Peru, and the United Kingdom.
For Philippine enterprises, from large corporations to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), this translates into reduced tariffs, greater predictability in trade rules, and enhanced investment prospects. It will empower our businesses to expand their reach, integrate into regional value chains, and strengthen their competitiveness on a global scale.
This initiative aligns perfectly with the goals of the Philippine Development Plan 2023–2028. It builds upon the country's existing economic commitments, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and its agreements with Japan, South Korea, and the European Free Trade Association, creating a cohesive and robust network of trade alliances.
The PCCI believes that CPTPP membership is a decisive step towards future-proofing the Philippine economy. It will attract high-quality investments in the country, create jobs, and provide our businesses with the platform they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive and protectionist global environment. We urge the government to pursue this accession with urgency and look forward to supporting the process.

PCCI calls for a balanced approach in SMGP's ?34-billion recovery claim
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) today expressed its support for a transparent, fair and collaborative process in the implementation of San Miguel Global Power’s (SMGP) ?34-billion recovery claim filed before the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). The claim follows the termination of SMGP’s Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with Manila Electric Company (Meralco) and the Supreme Court’s decision upholding this pre-termination.
The PCCI recognizes the Supreme's Court decision and the subsequent filing by SMGP as a significant development in the energy sector. The Chamber acknowledges the legal right to recover costs but emphasizes the critical need for a process that is equitable for all stakeholders, especially the consuming public.
"In the spirit of partnership, we encourage the ERC to lead a thorough and transparent review grounded on verified data," PCCI said. "Our shared goal is a sustainable energy ecosystem. This means balancing the legitimate operational needs of power providers with the fundamental necessity of keeping electricity affordable for families and businesses, which are the backbone of our economy."
The PCCI believes that constructive dialogue among all parties is key to achieving a fair outcome. The Chamber affirms its confidence in the ERC's mandate to protect consumer interests while ensuring a stable and investable energy market.
"We understand that contracts involve assumed risks, and the resolution of this claim must be handled with precision and care. We stand ready to collaborate with the ERC, generators, and distributors to explore solutions that mitigate the impact on end-users," the statement added.
The Chamber suggests that a collaborative approach could include exploring mechanisms such as extended, staggered payment plans or structured recovery terms that prevent sudden financial pressure on consumers and caps on recovery charges per billing cycle, or other mechanisms that would help soften the effect on households and businesses, particularly those in vulnerable sectors.
"By working together, we can find a path forward that upholds the integrity of contracts, ensures the financial health of our energy players, and safeguards the economic well-being of the Filipino consumer," the PCCI concluded.

The full-day event gathers exporting firms, sector representatives, and technology providers, to explore how digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) can transform the export value chain.
This forum underscores the growing importance of AI-driven innovation in strengthening Philippine exporters’ global competitiveness and building digital trust across industries.

The PCCI through its HR Development Foundation, is hosting the “Digitalization and AI for Exporters” Forum and Focus Group Discussion (FGD)

Pres. Mangio was joined by PCCI National Board members led by Chairman Emeritus Sergio Ortiz-Luis, Vice President for Regional Affairs, Membership and SDGs Ma. Alegria Sibal Limjoco, Vice President for International Affairs Jude Aguilar, Vice President for Industry Michael Tan, Area Vice President for NCR Dr. Hernando Delizo and other PCCI officers.&nbsp;
During the CEO B2B Networking Roundtable, Pres. Mangio emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between the two countries to be able to compete in the global markets. “The fundamentals are primed for deeper collaboration. Our trade volumes have grown significantly, yet remain well below potential,” she stated.
Pres. Mangio cited six priority sectors open for economic partnership - agribusiness, renewable energy, MSME development, ICT and digital services, construction materials and green infrastructure, and tourism, hospitality, and cultural industries.&nbsp;
The PCCI and the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize their commitment in advancing the interests of the Philippines and Cambodia at a forum hosted by the PCCI early this year during the official visit of Prime Minister Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet.

Last April 14, 2025, the Philippine government through the Departments of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and Education (DepEd) in partnership with private companies has been able to provide digital capabilities to Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs).
In Cebu, internet connectivity was installed in remote schools, tablets were given to one hundred underserved students, and teachers gained free digital upskilling.
This is just one of the many milestones that we will witness in the next few years as we focus our efforts toward digital transformation.
