The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry–Iloilo Chapter (PCCI Iloilo) recognized the enduring contributions of local entrepreneurs to local economic growth and enterprise development through the Ilonggo Entrepreneur Awards 2025 Exhibit, which was officially launched on December 18 at Robinsons Place Jaro.

The exhibit features the stories and achievements of Ilonggo business leaders, including the 12 Captains of Industry, past recipients of the Ilonggo Entrepreneur Awards, and the Chamber’s Most Outstanding Chamber and Hall of Fame trophies, reflecting PCCI Iloilo’s sustained leadership and impact on Iloilo’s business community.

“The exhibit is not only a celebration of success but also a platform to inspire future entrepreneurs by highlighting real stories of perseverance and leadership,” said PCCI Iloilo President Engr. Fulbert C. Woo.

Program Chair Francis Gerona likewise stressed the importance of recognizing homegrown enterprises that continue to contribute to inclusive and sustainable development in the province.

Open to the public, the exhibit offers visitors a closer look at the individuals and enterprises that have shaped Iloilo’s business landscape through innovation, resilience, and community-centered growth.

The exhibit forms part of the activities marking the 120th anniversary of the Iloilo Chamber Movement and will run until January 2026.
