The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) is a voluntary organization composed of business enterprises, chambers of commerce and industry associations nationwide. Its objective is business growth and community development.
Born out of the merger between the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (established in 1903) and the Philippine Chamber of Industries (established in 1951), the PCCI, by virtue of Letter of Instruction No. 789 from the Philippine government dated December 7, 1978, is recognized as the "single voice" of Philippine business.

The Philippine Business Conference
The PCCI's major activity every year is the Philippine Business Conference (PBC), a forum for discussing economic issues of national significance. The PBC is attended by representatives of business and industry all over the country and key government officials led by Cabinet Secretaries, Senators, and Congressmen. To provide regional inputs, five Area Conferences are held prior to the PBC.
Recommendations and resolutions adopted by the Conference are then presented to the President of the Philippines at the closing ceremonies, to serve as inputs in the formulation of laws and legislations.
