FFCCCII’s economic, socio-civic advocacies in the past 70 years
FOR over 7 decades, the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) has been at the forefront of diverse economic advocacies and socio-civic projects, showcasing their unwavering commitment to national development.
Its key initiatives cover advocating progressive economic and social policies for sustainable and inclusive Philippine economic growth, global competitiveness and development; fostering both domestic and foreign investments to fortify the Philippine economy; and championing the growth and enhancement of Philippine tourism and “Operation: Barrio schools,”a significant endeavor, involving the construction and donation of thousands of public school buildings in
rural barrios (neighborhood), countryside regions and remote islands nationwide every year.
Other key initiatives include libreng gamutan (free treatment), conducting medical, dental and optical missions to support urban poor and rural communities, and engaging in fast relief operations during natural and man-made calamities such as typhoons, earthquakes and other crises.
Another key initiative is sponsoring FilipinoChinese volunteer fire brigades across the nation, a collective effort by idealistic entrepreneurs and professionals, who volunteer as firemen during emergencies, helping victims regardless of ethnic or socioeconomic backgrounds.
Lastly, the foundation also spearheads the Buy Pinoy campaign, advocating for investments in Philippine manufacturing industries and encouraging the public to prioritize Filipino-made products. The aim is to stimulate job creation and foster a resilient, self-reliant Philippine economy.
