The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc.

Under the theme “Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Keys to Prosperity,” the convention will spotlight the transformative power of modernization, creativity, and enterprise in driving the Philippines’ economic future.
A Millennium of Trade, Harmony, and Nation-Building
For over 1,000 years, the Filipino Chinese community has been integral to the Philippines’ progress through:
- Trade and cultural exchange
- Social harmony and mutual growth
- A legacy of philanthropy and nation-building
For over seven decades, the FFCCCII continues this tradition under President Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, a visionary industrialist and philanthropist. He coined the 2024 FFCCCII 70th Anniversary motto, “Dagong Tsino, Pusong Pinoy” (Chinese Blood, Filipino Heart), reflects the community’s unwavering dedication to the Philippines’ prosperity.
