MCCI encourages Networking among members

CEBU, Philippines — Helping its member companies thrive, fresh from the ill effects of the pandemic, the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) is creating an inclusive, collaborative culture where companies can source their requirements within the chamber ecosystem.

To jumpstart this initiative, MCCI held the Business Connect event last Monday, August 7, 2023, at the Oakridge Horizon, Oakridge Business Park in Mandaue City, to foster a collaborative culture and connect members so they could get their requirements for services and products within the chamber.

“Networking is one of the activities requested by members. MCCI members come from diverse industries,” said co-chair of Business Connect Marvey Alcantara said.

Alcantara, who is the director for Visayas and Mindanao operations at Uratex, added that there are advantages to having a collaborative environment, supportive of each other’s activities.

“MCCI has very diverse industries. There’s a business provider within Mandaue chamber we really like to connect and match businesses,” explained Alcantara.

MCCI member, and co-chair of Business Connect, Mae Ann Yee affirmed Alcantara’s statement, saying the event would enable business owners and executives to talk among themselves and discuss business solution goals.

According to Yee, the working committee has come up with a color coding process for matching member companies based on their requirements.

Both Alcantara and Yee encouraged companies to register so the chamber would be able to identify who will be going and identify companies that would match their requirements.

Aside from the business matching activity, MCCI will induct 24 new members. The new members include ORIX METRO Leasing & Finance Corporation, Scrumptious Food and Beverage Corp, LANEX Corporation - Philippine Branch, Camotes Agribusiness Products, Otway Enterprises, KUNSTOF Windows & Doors, Cebu Parts Mall Auto and Industrial Sales, Boombox Marketing Office, Sphil Tele IT Experts Inc., Gem Travels, Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc., Fast AutoworldPhilippines Corporation, Aboitiz Power,  COREnergy Inc., CONVEYING AND PACKAGING CO.

Garcia & Company, CPAs, WRCMAC Realty Corporation, GHY Trading Solutions Inc., ACE 1 IT Solutions Inc., Glynis Entertainment Services, YnocPrime Land Corp, Freeman, Wall Street Courier Services Inc., (Ninja Van Philippines), and Fastway Finance and Credit Corp.

Alcantara also urged non-members to join MCCI so they could also avail themselves of various chamber activities such as networking events, seminars, workshops, and learning sessions.
