Now everything has cleared and relatively peaceful, this poses as a great opportunity to be more aggressive with starting new businesses and opening more jobs for the public.

PCCI President Ma. Alegria Sibal Limjoco said that the theme this year is a follow through of the previous year's conference: "Infrastructure and Digital Economy: The Game Changers.

"Business is really going digital and its inevitable. [That is why] we are having this discussion and we invited renowned local and international experts in the field of digital economy and technology innovation to share their thoughts, experiences and tips on how business can survive and thrive in a dynamically changing environment," Limjoco said 

45th PBC Chair William S. Co said that while digital economy promises to bring opportunities, it also poses uncertainties to business sustainability.

Over the last four decades, PBCE has served as a platform for PCCI members and partners both in private sector and government to converge, dialogue and come up with policy recommendations to better improve the business environment in the country.

There is so many things that can come from this conference and expo like the recent concerns in agriculture which many could only share the plight on social media yet yearns for a solution from the business sector for fair prices and support.
