The award recognizes CCCI’s efforts in accelerating business growth in Cebu, “as evidenced by its exemplary leadership and dynamism strong advocacy program, increased membership base and effective delivery of services,” CCCI said in a statement.

CCCI was also given a special citation for its pioneering efforts in education and training development and workforce capacity building by institutionalizing the establishment of the Assessment, Certification and Accreditation System (ACAS) unit.
