MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) has named electronics manufacturing executive Ferdinand Ferrer as its new president.
In a statement, the country’s largest business organization said that Ferrer succeeds PCCI 2024-2025 president Enunina Mangio.
Ferrer is currently chairman and CEO of EMS Group of Companies, one of the country’s largest electronic firms.
The incoming PCCI president aims to build on gains during Mangio’s term through expanded trade, investments and job creation.
Under Mangio’s leadership, PCCI focused on stronger advocacy, deeper regional engagement, expanded international partnerships and enhanced institutional capacity.
“Our achievements were guided by three commitments – strong and relevant advocacy for enterprises, empowering our regional chambers as the backbone of PCCI and strengthening institutional capacity through better programs, partnerships and visibility,” Mangio said.
The PCCI also secured investment interests from countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, India and Germany under Mangio’s leadership.
During a recent PCCI business mission to Qatar, the country generated an investment commitment of $2 billion for infrastructure and energy.
Moving forward, Ferrer said the strategy would focus on governance, investment and market access and workforce development.
“Our direction is anchored on three priorities that must move together: strengthening governance so PCCI is more agile and service-driven; positioning the Philippines as a competitive investment and trade hub; and ensuring our workforce is future-ready through nationwide upskilling,” he said.
According to Ferrer, these pillars are inseparable as good governance builds trust, while trade and investments create opportunities and skills help people seize opportunities.
