The Talisay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) unveiled two new initiatives aimed at attracting investment and strengthening collaboration with local government, as the city positions itself as a business hub in Cebu.
At the induction of new officers, TCCI president Macario “Carl” Cabusas II said his leadership will prioritise “listening first, acting with integrity, and turning practical programs into measurable results for MSMEs.”
The first initiative, “Talisay Business Month,” will be held every weekend in October as the city’s first month-long enterprise celebration.
It will feature trade fairs, business forums, exhibits, and networking events to highlight local industries and promote entrepreneurship.
The second programme, “Project Alpha: Talisay Towards the Future,” will establish a think tank of economists, urban planners, environmentalists, IT experts, educators and entrepreneurs.
The group will assess the city’s strengths and challenges and make data-driven recommendations to help market Talisay as a future-ready investment destination.
Mayor Sam Sam Gullas welcomed the initiatives, saying they align with the city’s growth strategy.
Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Cebu vice president for the Visayas Melanie Ng also attended the ceremony, alongside local officials and the newly inducted TCCI leadership team.
