New Cebu chamber president’s priority is cost, ease of business

Newly elected Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) President Antonio Chiu said lowering the cost and easing the process of doing business are among his top priorities. Since he comes from the manufacturing sector, Chiu assured CCCI members that he would go back to the group’s core objectives – the cost of doing business and ease of doing business. Chiu took over after immediate past President Melanie Ng, and his term is effective starting this March until February 2019. Chiu vowed to continue the programs of Ng especially since he was also active during her administration as vice president for finance. Chiu also has programs and plans of his own. Among his biggest ones is to help spur industry development outside of the main Metro Cebu cities of Cebu and Mandaue.
