The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry proudly congratulates Mr. Regan Rex T. King on his election as the 52nd President of CCCI.

A seasoned business leader and long-time Chamber advocate, President King brings with him decades of executive experience across transportation, automotive, logistics, insurance, and security industries. As Chief Operating Officer of 6R Mercantile Inc., General Manager of RDAK Transport Inc., and Managing Director of RDAK Global Motors Inc., among others , he embodies the entrepreneurial discipline and operational excellence that Cebu’s business community respects.

His leadership journey within CCCI speaks for itself: former Board Trustee, Vice President for Business Advocacy and Policy, Vice President for Cebu Business Mobilization, Chairman of Cebu Business Month 2024, and Chairman for Disaster Risk Reduction and Coordination. He has consistently shown that leadership is not about position, but about service.

President King’s strong foundation in governance, community development, and institution-building positions him well to steer the Chamber forward in an increasingly complex and competitive business landscape.

We are confident that under his leadership, CCCI will continue to champion responsible growth, strategic advocacy, and stronger ecosystem collaboration for Cebu and beyond.

Here’s to a bold, decisive, and impact-driven 52nd presidency.

Padayon Cebu!

The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry is urging the Marcos administration to undertake decisive action through procedural and policy reforms that go beyond prosecution to address the systemic corruption and abuses in government.

In an interview, newly-installed PCCI President Ferdinand “Perry” Ferrer said that corrective measures have to be instituted and institutionalized to prevent the massive abuse in power and stealing of peoples’ money from happening again.

“While corrective measures in budgeting and accountability are underway, there has to be policy changes that should stop corruption in government,” Ferrer said, adding that these measures must go beyond putting people in jail and bringing them to courts.

He said that corruption has indirectly affected enterprises operations. “We continue to run our businesses as resilient and as cautious as possible, but our people, the people in the operations have really been affected and dismayed over this massive corruption issue that has, at times, affected their productivity and ultimately, our overall operations,” Ferrer added.

He stressed the billions of pesos lost to corruption could have been channeled to better the country’s digital connectivity and infrastructure, which in turn could improve the Philippines’ position as an investment destination.

“The future is digital. Our MSMEs, which comprise 97 percent of businesses in the country, are not reliably connected to the internet. We need to ensure they are connected and can use e-commerce faster and efficient. If we improve their economic standing, the country improves,” he noted.

However, he clarified that cybersecurity is another concern that the government and private sector must work in handy to ensure that MSMEs can operate safely and efficiently in the digital space.

Moreover, Ferrer said that digitalization is also vital in improving the ease of doing business, providing transparency and efficiency, reducing human intervention, and aligning with global best practices.

“Starting a business is easy and simple but sustaining operations remains difficult due to regulatory inconsistencies. But there is a spark of hope at the end of the tunnel. There are agencies pushing hard for simplification,” he added.
