The Filipino-Chinese community has played a crucial role in the Philippines’ economic and social development for over a thousand years, with the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) continuing this legacy today.
Under the leadership of Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, the federation promotes a balance of entrepreneurship and philanthropy, highlighted by projects like “Operation Barrio Schools,” which has built over 6,300 public school buildings for underprivileged communities.
The FFCCCII also actively supports volunteer fire brigades and disaster relief efforts, reinforcing its commitment to community service.
Through international partnerships and advocacy for economic reforms, the federation strives to make the Philippines more globally competitive while ensuring inclusive growth.
Guided by the principle “Dugong Tsino, Pusong Pinoy,” the FFCCCII remains dedicated to strengthening national unity and uplifting Filipino lives.
