IN PHOTOS: PCCI President Perry A. Ferrer formally opened the 2026 Energy Summit, jointly organized by the PCCI Membership Committee and Energy Committee, at the New World Hotel, Makati City.
In his remarks, Ferrer emphasized the urgent need for the Philippines to secure reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy by harnessing its vast natural resources and the ingenuity of its people.
He outlined three strategic pillars for government action:
• Accelerating indigenous energy development
• Modernizing the country’s energy infrastructure
• Building strategic partnerships anchored on sovereignty
“The energy disruption of the coming decades will not wait for us to be ready. The climate crisis will not pause. Let us act decisively-- because every Filipino family, factory and future depends on reliable, affordable, and secure energy,” Ferrer stressed.
The Summit brought together over 200 participants, including PCCI members, local chambers, government leaders, industry players, and key stakeholders.
