The BCCI fosters a “family” spirit. Social activities get busy business buddies to unwind and share light moments of lazy talks, developing a network of Bulakenyo businessmen.
BCCI has taken a step further in its advocacy effort. It has adopted an innovative strategy of positioning itself in the localities within its jurisdiction, by organizing municipal business associations in the different cities and municipalities. By doing this, BCCI is ensuring a strong organizational base at the grassroots level and a more binding relationship with the local government units. To-date there are 19 local business councils formed through the intercession of BCCI.
BCCI, together with the implementing agencies (DTI, DILG, DOLE and BIR) has also consistently rallied qualified enterprise owners to avail of the incentives being offered by the Barangay Micro-Business Law.
As a responsible citizen, BCCI believes that it must serve as a living example in practicing corporate social responsibility.
