THE Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) was awarded “Most Outstanding Chamber in the Philippines” this year by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).

The award was given during the 37th Philippine Business Conference and Exposition last Oct. 12 to 14 in Manila Hotel.

CCCI said the latest award is the chamber’s fifth, after it received the same honors in 2006, 2005, 1996 and 1995. CCCI was also named a “Hall of Fame” awardee last 2007.

“Being the largest business organization in Visayas and Mindanao, CCCI never rested on being resilient especially in this challenging era of business dynamism. Having been known to be an active ally of both public and private parties, CCCI remains steadfast in its advocacy in the promotion of a healthier business community within its area of responsibility and beyond,” CCCI said in a statement.

The recent three-day conference focused on public-private partnership, the core program of the Aquino administration, and how collaboration between government and private sector can create a more competitive business and investment climate.

CCCI said that 2011 has been a very vibrant year for the organization after winning two prestigious awards. CCCI also won the bid to host the Confederation of Asia Pacific Chamber of Commerce and Industry Conference in March 2013.
